24-Hour SANE Unit Hospitals

24-Hour SANE Units

Many hospitals in Northeast Ohio have 24-Hour SANE Units – specially designated areas that provide quality medical care and specialized forensic evidence collection for sexual assault patients.

They are staffed by SANE nurses (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners), experienced Registered Nurses with intensive classroom education, extensive clinical experience, and expertise in sexual assault evaluation and forensic evidence collection.

Cleveland Rape Crisis Center Advocates are available to support survivors of rape and sexual abuse in local emergency rooms. Learn more about our Hospital Support Services.
