The Albany Damien Center is a small- to mid-sized wellness and community organization based in Albany, upstate New York, serving people affected by HIV and AIDS. It runs a community center offering a range of services that support health, prevention, mental well-being, and social connection, including HIV testing, counseling, prevention groups, resource materials, and spaces for meetings and recreation, along with holistic therapies. Its established programs include the AIDS Community Center, Smart Meals, PAWS, and Mpower! Albany. PAWS supports people living with HIV/AIDS who have pets, helping them maintain animal companionship; Smart Meals combines nutrition education with meals and grocery support; and the Peer Buddy Program pairs trained staff living with HIV with others to assist care engagement and medication adherence. In May 2026, the organization announced an expansion to increase headcount and began recruiting for several regional roles aimed at broader community mobilization.
