Root Center Welcomes New Director of Nursing

January 30, 2024

The Root Center is excited to announce Joseph Maddalena, as our new Director of Nursing!


Joe has been a Registered Nurse since 2014. His passion for mental health and addiction treatment started while he was working at South Central Rehabilitation Center, which is part of the Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center, in New Haven. 


There, Joe became the Nurse Manager of both inpatient withdrawal management and two methadone clinics. It was while doing this work that Joe developed a love for helping those on their recovery journey.


We are fortunate to add Joe’s dedication and experience to the team, and know that he will have an impact on our staff and patients. Welcome, Joe!
