When a sexual assault crisis strikes, it's important for victims to receive health care in a safe, respectful, and professional manner. The Texas Health SANE program supports victims of sexual assault through the healing and recovery process. With early intervention, improved health and investigative outcomes are possible and hospitals can play an important role in the collection of physical evidence to aid in the prosecution of sexual assault cases. Victims can be seen and treated at any time of the day or night in several Texas Health emergency departments. SANE-certified nurses are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Community education and prevention services are also offered across North Texas and include Human Trafficking, Child Abuse and Reporting, Safe Dating, Cyberbullying, and other topics.
