Exam room opens for sexual assault victims
On average, only one in four women who are sexually assaulted reports their encounter. In an effort to bring more women to report and receive help after an assault, UF Health has opened a new medical forensics room, known as the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Room, or SANE. The room opened in October inside the UF Health Shands E.R. The forensics room was made possible by generous support from the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners.
