ProstAware
Dr. Scott Miller has been fighting prostate cancer in patients since he became a physician. When prostate cancer is discovered in an early stage – while still confined to the prostate – the five-year survival rate is 99 percent. That’s the driving force behind his passion for creating ProstAware in 2009 to generate increased awareness about the disease.
A 501(c)3 non-profit organization, ProstAware’s mission is to change the dialogue about prostate cancer and empower men to take control of their health. ProstAware brings prostate cancer awareness and education to men and their loved ones by tapping into the dynamic worlds of music, technology and sports.
