Introducing GLIIHC’s S.A.N.E. Program! We are honored to expand our services with the launch of GLIIHC’s Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (S.A.N.E.) Program, created to support survivors of violence with compassionate, trauma-informed care.

A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner is a specially trained nurse who provides medical care for individuals experiencing acute or long-term health effects related to sexual assault, strangulation, or other injuries caused during violence. SANEs are trained to gently assess injuries, offer appropriate treatment, and support survivors through the next steps of healing.

To help our community learn more, we invite you to attend our S.A.N.E. Program Launch, where you can:
• Take a guided walk-through of our soft, private spaces in both Medical and Behavioral Health
• Learn what a SANE visit looks like and the services our program will provide
• Explore educational materials, resources, and ways to support loved ones
• Connect with our staff, ask questions, and enjoy light refreshments

Because these conversations can be sensitive, we encourage you to consider what you feel comfortable sharing with your children before attending.

Come see how GLIIHC is expanding support for survivors and strengthening pathways to safety, dignity, and healing in our community.
