Mission Statement
The PA Prostate Cancer Coalition’s mission is to extend and improve the quality of life for our fathers, brothers, and sons through prostate cancer awareness, education and the advocacy of responsible screening.
About This Cause
In addition our above mission, we also strive: To be the source of action and information in Pennsylvania for men’s health and prostate cancer; with the mission to promote awareness, encourage timely detection and support improved treatment of prostate cancer in Pennsylvania. To be a statewide organization based in Central Pennsylvania with a board of directors, a small staff and a network of volunteers across the state. The PPCC exists to help the 11,900 men in this state who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, to support the families of the 1,300 men who will die from it and to serve as a resource for the hundreds of thousands more men currently living with the disease. Core Objectives Break the stigma and barrier of discomfort surrounding discussion of prostate cancer/health. Promote men’s health parity and empowerment through outreach and education. Improve men’s health literacy in high-risk populations. Serve as the recognizable source for prostate cancer information in Pennsylvania. Protect responsible prostate cancer screening involving PSA tests and digital rectal exams. Attract and maintain support from the patient, medical and policy-making communities.
