Who we are.
The Prostate Centre, a self-supporting non-profit organization founded in 2000, sets the standard for easing the burden of prostate cancer by providing unbiased and understandable medical information, follow-up, psychological and peer counselling on prostate cancer and prostate health issues. The Centre emphasizes the importance of early detection and is dedicated to prevention and research of prostate cancer.
The Prostate Centre, serving Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, is unique in Canada with the services it provides. One in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer sometime in their lives, but with early detection, prostate cancer can be curable, with a 90 – 95% success rate. Since opening our doors in 2000, the Prostate Centre’s small staff and a team of highly dedicated medical volunteers have helped thousands of men and their families.
The funding for The Prostate Centre has come from individuals, corporations, special events and entrepreneurial activity. We need the assistance of committed supporters who believe passionately about this cause as much as we do. But we can’t do it alone – we need your help.
100% of the money donated to The Prostate Centre stays on Vancouver Island to support programs and services available to all men and their families.
The programs and services that we provide are free to our community and do not require a referral from a medical professional. If you or someone you know could benefit from our help, please "pass it on" and share our information with others.
