Our AdventHealth Littleton hospital is grateful to be among the few hospitals in the metropolitan Denver area to provide sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs). These registered nurses are specially trained to offer comprehensive care to survivors of sexual violence. SANEs learn to identify physical trauma, document injuries, collect evidence, maintain the chain of custody and provide necessary referrals. We work to ensure the whole person is cared for, which means tending to the person’s body, as well as their spirit and emotions. SANEs advocate for survivors and act as expert witnesses for the prosecution, increasing the prosecution rate of perpetrators.
