The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) Program received this year's largest funded GRMC Foundation Wish List Program investment - exam equipment for use in the Emergency Department along with program development funds. GRMC has three SANE Registered Nurses (RN) who have completed a 67-hour training. They help with the interview of patients, comprehensive examination, photo and data/evidence collection and support services to sexual assault survivors. Two more RN's are scheduled to be trained.

Providing a High Standard of Compassionate Care for Sexual Assault Survivors
