    The CAN Community Health Clinic

    CAN Community Health (CAN), the nation’s second-largest HIV care organization, has joined forces with Compass Community Center to bring a new, fully integrated health clinic to Lake Worth Beach.

    Now, individuals visiting Compass for HIV testing, PrEP education, or those newly diagnosed can take the next step in their care—just steps away in the same building. The clinic also offers testing for other STIs, including gonorrhea and chlamydia.

    CAN has proudly served Florida’s HIV community since 1991 and now operates 36 clinics across the country. Together with our partners, we’re breaking down barriers to care, raising awareness, and fighting to end the stigma surrounding HIV.
