APRIL IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH (SAAM)

During SAAM we highlight the role of the SANE Nurse.

What is a SANE: A registered nurse with specialized training to provide comprehensive, trauma- informed care to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking. The SANE nurse bridges the gap between health care and the justice system. Their role is to provide a safe, non- judgmental environment for survivors during their time of need.

What Happens During a SANE Exam?
The exam is entirely voluntary; Survivors can choose to stop or skip any part at any time.
Medical Care: SANE’s provide preventive medications for STIs and pregnancy.
Evidence Collection: They are experts at meticulously collecting forensic evidence (like DNA or fibers) and maintaining the “chain of custody” required for legal proceedings.
Trauma- Informed Approach: SANE nurses have training to understand traumatic effects on the human brain and apply it to practice. Helping them to provide services that do not re- traumatize the survivor.
Justice Support: SANE’s can provide expert testimony in court, which has been shown to increase prosecution and conviction rates.

If you need these services, VGH has a dedicated nursing team that can assist you through our ER.

Virginia Gay Hospital: A Healing Tradition

Virginia Gay Hospital was established in Vinton in 1923 with a gift from a former resident and Ohio philanthropist Virginia Walcutt Gay. Since its founding, the hospital has been an independent, non-profit hospital sustained by a generous community grateful to have excellent professional care available locally. Today, there are four clinics in Benton County in addition to the 25-bed critical access hospital with multiple opportunities to use and expand on skills and education, create strong relationships and make an impact on a community.
