The National Alliance of State Prostate Cancer Coalitions (NASPCC) is an umbrella organization meant to encompass participation by all states - through their state prostate cancer coalitions, state prostate cancer task forces or state prostate cancer foundations. It was formed in Los Angeles, California in October 2004 by representatives of 25 states and counting, as well as by others interested in the formation of such a participatory alliance.

The Mission Statement, Goals and Objectives are viewable elsewhere on this Website. We intend to hopefully form or help to coalesce 2 to 3 new state prostate cancer coalitions per year. We also envision sponsoring educational forums and serving as a clearing house for programs and best practices that have worked in various states by and through their prostate cancer coalitions. All of the participating state prostate cancer coalitions should derive great benefit from networking and coming together once a year. Further, the prostate cancer community that is represented by all of the states that participate in NASPCC represents a huge critical mass; and strength in numbers will help us to achieve our goals and to make prostate cancer a national health care priority.

Our eventual goal: participation in the Alliance by all 50 states!
