Harlem Renaissance Project

We’re grateful for partners like ACT who saw the vision and helped move it forward. This milestone belongs to the entire community.

A few thoughts from Harlem Renaissance Corporation Chairman Felton Lewis on what the opening of the Legacy Wellness Center means to our community.

"Dear Family,

The opening of the brand new state-of-the art facilities at the Legacy Wellness Center is more than a ribbon-cutting; this is a homecoming. It is the fulfillment of a promise planted generations ago in the heart of Albany’s historic Harlem District, where doctors, midwives, pharmacists, nurses, and healers once shaped the very soul of community life.

Their courage carried us.
Their advocacy transformed us.
Their belief in Albany’s potential still guides us.
Their desire welcomes all.

The Legacy Wellness Center stands on their shoulders. As the first major development of the Harlem Renaissance Project, the Center brings together medical, dental, behavioral health, research, wellness programs, and trusted local providers all under one roof.

It is a place designed for every age, every family, every story, and every neighborhood."

A big thank you to WALB News 10 for highlighting this important moment for Harlem.

Tonight, the lights are back on in Harlem. 💡 And for many in this community and beyond, that means more than words can say. 💙💚💜💛

What started as a vision for Harlem is now a reality for our community. The Legacy Wellness Center stands as the first major milestone in the Harlem Renaissance Project and proof of what can happen when people come together around a shared purpose.

We’re incredibly proud of the Legacy team, our partners, supporters, and everyone who believed in this dream long before the doors opened.

This is more than a building. It’s a signal of what’s possible.

The light is back on in Harlem. 💡
