"For the past 20 years, Frank Shirley, a long-time client of the Damien Center, has received various medical services from the organization. The addition of dental services is a significant milestone for patients like Shirley, who commented on the center's holistic approach: 'They look after people, they care. I’m glad to see it’s all housed under one roof."

Thank you, WRTV and Nicole Griffin, for sharing the story of our clinic with the community!

Indiana's oldest and largest HIV and AIDS service organization, the Damien Center, has expanded services with the opening of Damien Dental.

Last week, we welcomed the Indy Bag Ladies to the Mosaic Building to dedicate the new food pantry in honor of Coby Palmer.

Coby, also known as Queen Mother Blossom, was a fierce advocate for HIV-related causes and a dedicated supporter of the Damien Center food bank. Many lives were changed for the better over the years due to his work and generosity.

Thank you to the Bag Ladies, Coby's family, and all of our donors and partners who made our new food bank possible.

Our team member for the month of July is Ceven Webb (he/him)!

As Volunteer Manager, Ceven not only excels at engaging with volunteer groups, but he also brings a deep sense of care and attention to individual volunteers. His thoughtful approach has not gone unnoticed.

Ceven has played a pivotal role in fostering and expanding key partnerships with organizations/donors that support our mission. His ability to create meaningful connections has directly enhanced the experience of our volunteers while having a vital link to our clients.

Ceven has stepped up this year, demonstrating incredible leadership and a consistent willingness to go above and beyond. His coordination of all-staff community engagement during Dining Out For Life and Indy Pride has benefited the entire Damien team. His trainings for DOFL ambassadors were thorough, informative, and helped make everyone feel more comfortable. He is very deserving of Employee of the Month!

If you run into Ceven, make sure to thank him for the dedication and hard work he puts into working at the Damien Center!
