Press release<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday night\u2019s \u201cVeteran Connection\u201d at The Recovery Station on Clinton Street Road served a valuable purpose for former military members, their families and the community, in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pamela Ware, president of the Anna Ingalsbe Lovell Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, said she learned a lot about local services for veterans as she chatted with representatives of the organizations that participated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will be able to report back to the chapter members some important information about the numerous veterans\u2019 programs,\u201d said Ware, who serves as the DAR\u2019s volunteer services representative for eight Western New York counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ware said that after speaking with Abigail Savage and Eric Krupczyk, psychologist and peer support specialist, respectively, with the Batavia VA Medical Center\u2019s PTSD unit, she plans to direct the DAR\u2019s next fundraising effort to support that agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Batavia PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) program is one of only three such VA programs in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other agencies taking part in the event were WNYHeroes, Inc., Best Self Behavioral Health, Department of Veterans Affairs crisis line, Buffalo VA Regional Office, VA Healthcare and WNY Healthcare System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
