Duncan s Safe Center to get SANE room By Nazarene Harris | April 22, 2021 at 7:50 AM CDT - Updated April 22 at 7:50 AM
DUNCAN, Okla. (TNN) - Duncanâs Safe Center is expanding its services to include offering victims of sexual assault a SANE room where they can receive the specific medical treatment they need.
SANE stands for sexual assault nurse examination. A SANE room is one thatâs reserved specifically for victims of sexual assault to receive medical treatment in and a SANE nurse is someone who is specialized to offer that treatment.
The problem in Stephens County is that there is no SANE nurse for miles and victims of sexual assault in the area have to wait hours to receive the treatment they need.
