Partnership launched to better support sexual assault victims
Paula Wolf//November 1, 2022
Penn State Health Lancaster Medical Center is partnering with Penn State’s Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing to enhance support for sexual assault survivors.
Registered nurses in the emergency department who have completed sexual assault nurse examiner, or SANE, training will join with Nese College of Nursing’s Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Telehealth Systems to deliver expert care to survivors of sexual assault.
SAFE-T Systems also offers a network of experts and evidence-based training.
The technology allows teleSANE experts to interact on video with the sexual assault nurse examiner in the exam room, as well as the patient and the advocate, all through a secure telehealth connection.
Lancaster Medical Center and SAFE-T Systems staff, local legislators and community leaders will attend a celebration of the partnership Nov. 1 at Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center, Manheim. The event will include a demonstration of SAFE-T Systems’ telehealth resources.
