Adena Greenfield Medical Center (AGMC) is now providing services to patients reporting to its emergency department following a sexual assault, according to a news release from the Adena Health System.
Adena Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide care, support and aid to these patients, according to the release.
“Providing patients affected by sexual assault the best possible trauma-informed care has always been our top priority,” said Julie Fairchild, SANE/forensic nursing coordinator. “By not having to be transferred to another facility to see a SANE nurse, or having to tell their story one more time can mean the difference between a patient seeking additional services or not.”
