Join us for the launch of our Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program Launch (SANE), this Thursday, December 18. We welcome community members to meet our team, see the spaces, and learn how we care for survivors who have experienced violence in a safe, gentle environment.
At this open house, you can:
