Root Center breaks ground on new clinic in Hartford

September 28, 2023

On September 28th, 2023, we officially broke ground on our newest clinic in Hartford.


This new clinic, at 35 Lafayette Street, will replace our current clinic on Main Street (named Doctors Clinic). We feel that our previous clinic no longer meets the needs of patients and staff, and does not reflect what we believe recovery looks like.


Many times, mental health and addiction clinics are hidden in the shadows. We want our staff and patients to feel proud and dignified when they walk into this healthcare facility, because that is exactly what it is... a healthcare facility.


Mental health IS health, and we need to start seeing it, and treating it, as such. Our goal at the Root Center is to continue creating state-of-the-art facilities that resemble any other type of location that someone would go to for primary care, cardiology, or whatever their healthcare needs may be.


Recovery is possible, and most of all, it is beautiful.

Root Center Hosting First Charity Golf Tournament

By Fathom Member • March 6, 2025
The Root Center is excited to announce our first ever CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT! However, this charity golf tournament won’t be to benefit Root… on September 25th, 2025, we will host a charity golf outing at Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, CT, to benefit St. Vincent de Paul Middletown . Root Center feels strongly about nonprofits supporting nonprofits, and we are thankful for the work St. Vincent de Paul Middletown performs to help the residents in our state, particularly in Middletown, where Root Center proudly operates two sites. Many Root Center patients benefit from their critical services, and we are proud to support such an important mission helping some of the most marginalized members of our community. So, dust off those clubs, and get ready to play for a great cause! More information on signing up and sponsoring coming soon!
