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.
