CAN Community Health was recognized by The NonProfit Times as one of the Best Nonprofits to Work For in 2025. This marks the seventh time the organization has received this honor, having been recognized in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and now 2025.

The accolade reflects CAN Community Health's commitment to fostering a supportive workplace culture. The evaluation process, conducted by The NonProfit Times, involved comprehensive employee surveys assessing workplace policies, practices, philosophies, systems and demographics. The consistent recognition over the years underscores the organization's dedication to its staff and mission.

"Receiving this award for the seventh time is a testament to the incredible team we have at CAN Community Health," said Rishi Patel, PharmD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer at CAN Community Health. "Our employees are the heart of our organization, and their dedication to our mission of providing compassionate health care services is truly commendable."

CAN Community Health operates a local clinic in Columbia, providing essential health services to the community. The local clinic played an integral role in the organization's overall recognition, reflecting the team's commitment to excellence and patient care.

Since 1991, CAN Community Health has been dedicated to inspiring and uplifting the health of individuals affected by HIV, Hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted infections. With a network of clinics across the country, CAN provides compassionate medical care, prevention services and support programs—regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

“This recognition is a reminder that when we lead with heart and stay true to our purpose, we not only build a great workplace—we build stronger, healthier communities,” said Dr. Patel.
