Senior Friendship Centers Receives $20,000 Susan Terry Foundation Grant to Improve Healthcare Access for LGBTQ+ Older Adults

The Giving Coast

Growing older can bring new health challenges for anyone. But for many LGBTQ+ older adults, decades of stigma, discrimination and social isolation have created additional barriers to finding trusted healthcare and support. A new $20,000 grant from the Susan Terry Foundation will help Senior Friendship Centers bridge that gap through expanded HIV prevention education, healthcare navigation and community connections. The grant will support Senior Friendship Centers' Older Adult Access & HIV Prevention initiative, a collaborative effort designed to connect LGBTQ+ older adults with affirming healthcare providers, HIV prevention education, navigation assistance and community resources. The initiative is intended to reduce barriers to care while helping participants build lasting connections to trusted health and support services.
