• Arrival at the Sexual Assault Healthcare Program

  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 Ln allows the most direct access to the Healthcare Program, and is closest to the designated parking spaces. 

  

  There are designated parking spots for patients of the Sexual Assault Healthcare Program on Farm Lane.

  

  The East and West Side entrances to the Student Services Building have a buzzer for after hours access. In the overnight hours, when the outside doors to the building are locked, use the buzzer to communicate with the nurse and be let into the building. 

   

  

  Once you enter the Student Services Building, use the stairs near the East Side entrance, or the elevator between the east & west side entrances to go to the 2nd floor. Outside of business hours, the doors to the Center for Survivors & Sexual Assault Healthcare Program wing, will be locked. Use the buzzer to communicate with the nurse. 

  

• Welcome & Waiting Room

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

  

  Nurses will complete a COVID screening before entering the Healthcare suite. 

  

  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 Medical 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. 

  

• Intake & Exam

  Patients will meet with the Medical 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 history. 

   

  Medical 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. Medical Advocates can accompany the patient into the exam room to continue to provide support throughout the process. 

  

• Discharge

  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 Medical Advocates 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 Medical Advocate for support before they depart.
