Darryl Strawberry makes Army buddies at alcohol rehab center opening

At yesterday’s opening of the Smithers Alcoholism Treatment and Training Center at St. John’s Riverside Hospital in Yonkers, former Mets and Yankees baseball slugger Darryl Strawberry mingled with other recovering
alcoholics, hospital officials and several uniformed Army officers who were there to support the center’s plans to reach out to veterans.
While covering the story, I took this quick photo of Strawberry schmoozing with two doctors from the Keller Army Community Hospital at West Point: Col. Andrew Friedman (left) and Col. Van Coots (right).
Both Coots and Friedman said their hospital’s partnership with the center, which will offer a range of inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, will be especially valuable because West Point only offers outpatient programs. They also appreciate plans for the center to reach out to veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, struggling with substance abuse problems as they try to readjust to civilian life.
