Root Center Hosts 3-Year Strategic Planning Retreat

April 18, 2023

In April, we had a great day at the beautiful Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington. Our Board of Directors, Executive Leadership Team, and Directors, all came together for a 3-year strategic planning retreat. We brainstormed ideas on how to continue to grow and improve the Root Center for Advanced Recovery in the years to come, and the future looks exciting!


“It was such an amazing day for me to bear witness to the immense knowledge and enthusiasm of our leadership and Board,” said Root CEO/President, Steven Zuckerman. “Everyone came together so cohesively to discuss the future of Root.”


We believe that coming together as a team helps strengthen our organization so that we can continue to better serve our clients, staff, and the future of recovery in the years to come.

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!
