The Sexual Assault Healthcare Program is located on the 2nd floor of the Student Services Building (556 E. Circle Dr.).

There are 4 entrances to the Student Services Building. You may access the Sexual Assault Healthcare Program from the East or West entrances. The East Side entrance on Farm Lane allows the most direct access to the Healthcare Program, and is closest to the designated parking spaces.

The nurse will greet you at the door and welcome you into the space.

Nurses will welcome the patient into the Sexual Assault Healthcare Program suite and make them comfortable in the waiting room while they call to dispatch a Crisis Advocate from the Center for Survivors to come and support the patient throughout this process.

To ensure that privacy is protected, only one patient at a time is welcomed into the Sexual Assault Healthcare Program suite. An exterior waiting room (below) is available if a second patient arrives.

Patients will meet with the Crisis Advocate in the intake room to receive resources, support, and linkage to aftercare supports. The nurse will also meet with the patient in this comfortable, non-medical space to discuss options and conduct the medical forensic histories.

Crisis Advocates provide patients with useful resources and information to inform patients of their rights, educate about the impact of trauma, and connect patients to aftercare services.

When the patient is ready, the nurse will bring them into the exam room where the medical examination and evidence collection can take place. Crisis Advocates can accompany the patient into the exam room to continue to provide support throughout the process.

After the exam is complete, patients will be offered prophylactic medications and discharge instructions will be reviewed. Patients are given the opportunity to get dressed, shower, or clean up. Replacement clothing is available as well as cosmetics and toiletries, if needed.

Law enforcement will only be dispatched if a patient specifically requests to speak to an officer immediately. If the patient requests to speak with the officer, a supportive space is available and Crisis Advocate can remain on-site to provide support while making the police report.

Patients are welcome to decompress in our comfortable waiting areas and debrief with a Crisis Advocate for support before they depart.
