"Florida Prostate Cancer Network was founded by Robert J. Samuels in 1997. Mr. Samuels is a retired banker who was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In his quest for information about the disease, he found that little information was available. As a result of his research and all that he learned about prostate cancer he became a health activist. He was the founding chairman of the National Prostate Cancer Coalition and then returned to his home state to found the Florida Prostate Cancer Network. He has been a driving force behind the men^s health movement in the State of Florida and has been recognized by numerous organizations for his good work."
