Bryan Health has expanded its SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) program to better help patients affected by sexual assault. Bryan Health now has a team of more than thirty registered nurses who serve as sexual assault nurse examiners. Staff from multiple departments at Bryan participated in adult and pediatric education and certification. Nurses spent nearly 100 hours receiving specialized training, including:
• Detecting injuries
• Treating injuries
• Collecting evidence for law enforcement
• Photo documentation
• Testifying in court
• Resources available at Bryan and throughout the community
The Bryan Foundation is proud to provide the resources necessary to strengthen the SANE program at Bryan Health. With the generous help of donors, financial support provides nurses the opportunity for ongoing education, training and certification required to fill this critical need for the community.
