Sexual Assault Nurse Examination (SANE)

Under Colorado law, public colleges are required to provide the following information for students who are victims of sexual assault.

If you are a victim of a sexual assault, you may request a medical forensic exam.  This is important if you think you want to seek legal action.  It is vital that a victim obtains medical treatment as soon as possible and does not bathe, shower, douche, or change clothes until given permission by medical personnel.  You can have the exam without having to report the assault to law enforcement.  You will not be charged for the cost of the exam.

The College has an agreement with the following providers for the exam:

• Trinidad Campus:
  Mt. San Rafael Hospital
  410 Benedicta Ave., Trinidad CO  81082
  If you do not have transportation to the facility, you may contact a friend or family member, Council of Governments Transit services at 719-845-1127 or Advocates Against Domestic Assault at 719-846-6665.

  If you do not have transportation to the facility, you may contact a friend or family member, Little Stinkers Taxi Service at 719-859-2500 or Tu Casa, Inc. 719-589-2465.
