PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES:
The Albany Damien Center provides High Impact Prevention (HIP) using evidenced-based education, groups, and individual support. HIP has demonstrated potential to reduce new HIV, Hepatitis C, and sexually transmitted infections to yield a major impact on the local HIV epidemic. We also work to ensure each person has unfettered access to life-saving support and care services to help people not just survive, but thrive! |
