Today I attended the Ribbon Cutting ceremony for this new facility. This will be the place where I go to be with the victims during their exams & victims from Northern Nevada & some CA counties will also have to go. Among the speakers & people that helped make this new facility happen were Senator John Ensign, Catherine Masto Nevada Attorney General, Senator William J. Raggio, Northern Nevada Medical Center CEO & Board with many others.
CARES ~ Child Abuse Response & Evaluations~
The CARES program is professionally staffed with nurse practitioners who are trained to conduct the forensic examinations of sexually abused children through age twelve. Pediatrician works in collaboration with the nurses to ensure that the best possible care is given to the victims and their families. CARES exams are scheduled through local law enforcement or Child Protective Services.
SART~ Sexual Assault Response Team~
SART is the adult sexual assault program which examines and treats victims ages thirteen and older. Adolescent and adult victims receive a forensic examination at the facility 24 hrs a day. SART nurses and Victim Advocates are dispatched immediately upon the report of sexual assault by law enforcement.
