The story of the Susan Terry Foundation begins with a simple yet powerful belief: every person deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, support, and hope. During the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, when fear and misunderstanding often overshadowed compassion, Susan Terry helped build connections where few existed. Her grassroots efforts laid the foundation for what became CAN Community Health, now serving thousands of individuals across multiple states.

Today, the Foundation carries that vision forward by addressing the barriers that can stand between people and consistent HIV care. By investing in housing stability, transportation assistance, mental health support, community education, and other essential services, the Foundation helps expand access to care and opportunity. Through meaningful partnerships and initiatives that challenge stigma, it is working toward a future where every person has the opportunity to live a healthy, fulfilling life.

About Us:

The Foundation supports communities affected by HIV by advancing prevention, education and care. Its approach focuses on three main pillars:

• Encouraging community collaboration
• Addressing critical factors affecting health
• Supporting education and awareness
