Testimonial
From my first day and my husband ushering me gently inside because I was nervous to my last day, procrastinating leaving, I am exceptionally grateful for ERC and their staff. Every member of staff I encountered cared for me for me more than I cared about myself both physically and mentally. Other patients journeys were inspiring to witness and helped boost my recovery journey. Highly highly recommend.
