Meet AJ Canfield

Arthur J. “A.J.” Canfield IV is an accomplished healthcare and nonprofit executive with over 25 years of leadership experience driving strategic growth, operational excellence, and mission alignment across the home care, senior living, donor relations, and entrepreneurial sectors. Throughout his career, A.J. has founded, scaled, and strategically positioned multiple organizations for sustained growth or successful exits.

Guided by a lifelong commitment to service, A.J. passionately advocates for the well-being of children with special needs, seniors, and veterans; ensuring each receives the care, dignity, and support they deserve. His dedication is deeply personal: his daughter was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome PWS USA inspiring his unwavering advocacy for inclusion, awareness, and support for individuals and families affected by rare disorders. 

Advocating for individuals fighting cancer to receive the best possible treatment and support is deeply personal to A.J. His father has battled multiple forms of cancer, he lost a cousin at just 40 years old, and more recently, his brother-in-law to brain cancer. These experiences fuel his commitment to standing with families facing this disease and ensuring they receive the care, resources, and hope they deserve.

Beyond his professional and philanthropic endeavors, A.J. treasures time with his family and enjoys the beaches and beautiful weather of Southwest Florida. Originally from the Chicagoland area, he remains a proud lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears.
