    Mission Statement ********************************** INFORMED DECISIONS overcome FEAR The mission of The Sarasota Prostate Initiative is to increase awareness of diagnostic and treatment options available to men with prostate disease, and to guide and support them through their odyssey. Specific goals: 1. Inform men and partners with doctors’ presentations - with Q and A - at monthly support and education meetings and conferences and seminars. 2. Reach Out to new communities to spread awareness to more men. 3. Provide education and support on diagnostic and treatment options. 4. Guide and mentor men, peer to peer, through the challenges of this odyssey. 5. Promote Sarasota as a preeminent center for prostate health care.

    About Us

    Sarasota Prostate Initiative (SPI) is the outgrowth of a program started at Sarasota Memorial Hospital in 1989 called Man to Man. This was created as a support group for men to better understand the complexities and solutions for life altering prostate health issues. Formed by doctors and patients, the group has survived for nearly 40 years by educating patients with the help of presenting doctors at monthly meetings to discuss solutions to this odyssey. SPI operates free PSA Screening programs, and educational talks to mens groups throughout the Southwest Florida area to try to educate men and their partners about this disease which is equal in number to Breast Cancer and its effect upon women.
