What Man Cave Health does

Man Cave Health, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 30-1046542) founded in 2018 by Thomas Milana following his own prostate cancer diagnosis. Headquartered in Oyster Bay, New York, the organization is dedicated to men's health awareness and early detection of prostate cancer, with an explicit focus on reaching men in environments where they feel comfortable—principally sports venues, healthcare facilities, and cultural events. Its core offering is the delivery of free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests and related health education rather than a proprietary technology product.

The service portfolio combines fixed physical facilities (a flagship Man Cave at Mount Sinai's Department of Urology in NYC opened in 2019, and the UCI Men's Health Hub in California opened in 2022), mobile Van Cave screening units launched in 2025, and recurring Virtual Support Groups held biweekly via Zoom. Screening events are delivered through partnerships with major healthcare systems (Mount Sinai, UCI Health, Northwell Health, UF Health Cancer Institute) and anchored in sports and cultural venues including NASCAR weekends at Pocono Raceway, college football tailgates with Coach Steve Spurrier, the Blue Jacket Fashion Show in NYC and Los Angeles, and the Team Blue Jacket community outreach initiative in Harlem, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Manhattan.

Man Cave Health generates no commercial revenue. All screenings and services are provided free to end users, with funding drawn from individual donations (tiered from $50 for one PSA test to $1,000 to help launch a new Man Cave), corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, and proceeds from recurring fundraising events including the annual Milana Family Foundation Golf Event, the Rao's charity luncheon, and the Blue Ball gala. The organization operates as a public charity governed by a board and advised by a 16-person advisory board that includes sports media figures; the Milana Family Foundation serves as the primary founding and ongoing financial supporter. As of 2026 the organization is active across 7 U.S. states with a mobile fleet expansion pipeline of four regions.
