Congratulations to our May Employee of the Month ,Diane Impronto for living our value- renewing ourselves to share our strength.

Diane has been devoted to the organization for over 40 years and has had an integral role in our agency’s mission and assisted with the organizational culture. She has worn many hats over the years, with playing a role in many different facets of the agency. With new management to the agency, her role has changed but her attitude has not. She has always demonstrated the team player attitude, one would want in their department. Coming on board in a new position can be a challenge, but her professionalism and willingness, has made it easier to become acclimated to the organization.

Summer is here following a busy spring packed with excitement! From our Lafayette Street Clinic Grand Opening to the Middletown Pride Parade, we kept ourselves busy in our communities. In our last newsletter, we were close to opening our Lafayette Street Clinic, a new location in Hartford where our Doctors Clinic staff and patients (currently on Main Street) will move when we begin accepting patients starting June 23rd! But that's just the beginning! We have hosted many exciting events this spring, including our most recent Community Forum on Burnout, our Annual Years of Service Awards, and a documentary screening of an independent film focusing on four women in recovery.  It's been a jam-packed spring, and there's so much to share. Keep reading for some special announcements and updates!

Our Community Forum was a success! Burnout: More than Just Stress, was a wonderful, insightful, and at times even funny conversation about occupational and personal burnout, shifting legislature, personal coping strategies, systemic changes, the effect of burnout in children, and so much more! The Root Center is proud to offer free events like this as part of our Advanced Recovery Institute (ARI). The ARI is committed to research and training to elevate clinical care. It is our hope that by organizing these forums that we will help expand our understanding and awareness of topics that impact our communities.
