About the Program:

We strive to address the unique needs of victims of abuse. By providing our services in a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgmental atmosphere – our focus is to empower our patients to begin the healing process and, in addition, work to end sexual assault and domestic/intimate partner violence in our community.

Mission Hospital employs Forensic Nurse Examiners (FNEs) – specially trained registered nurses – who provide comprehensive care for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child, elder, dependent-adult abuse and neglect, and other violent crimes. Our forensic nurses are also involved in community outreach and educational programs designed to raise public awareness of sexual assault, safe dating, and recognizing and dealing with violence in a relationship.

A forensic nurse examiner is on duty 24/7/365. Specialized training and experience enables the FNE to:

• Provide a safe, comprehensive and compassionate exam.
• Collect and document evidence of the assault
• Provide treatment to help prevent sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy
• Initiate crisis intervention and safety planning when needed
• Arrange medical and psychological follow-up
• Provide expert testimony in court
