The mission of the Albany Damien Center is to provide individuals infected with HIV and AIDS and their families various types of support and assistance. Individuals who are affected by HIV and AIDS often feel isolated as a result of the stigma attached to their diseases. The Albany Damien Center serves as a safe place for individuals affected by HIV and AIDS to access support so that they do not become isolated. The Albany Damien Center provides individuals with services aimed to improve their social, physical, and emotional health. The central location, the Aids Community Center, provides individuals with a comfortable, home-like environment where they have access to mental health counseling, group meals, massage therapy, spiritual care, information about HIV, and recreational activities. The mission of the Albany Damien Center is to improve the overall quality of life for individuals and families affected by HIV and AIDS in a supportive, comfortable environment (D. Nangle, personal communication, March 9, 2011).
Looking forward to seeing what everyone has to offer!
