Fund the Need
At Witham Health Services we focus on providing accessible and high quality healthcare services to the communities we serve. The Center of Hope is no exception and it is crucial that we bring this service to our community. A Center of Hope is a safe haven for victims of violence such as sexual assault, domestic violence, elder abuse, etc. Currently victims of this kind of violence in Boone County are being referred to Indianapolis or Lafayette area hospitals to get help and Witham Health Services Foundation along with our generous supporters are going to change that. Victims in our community and our patients at Witham Health Services deserve better and deserve access to this kind of care.
At the Center of Hope victims will have access to forensic nursing exams performed by specially trained staff who specialize in providing trauma informed care. SANE nurses are trained in forensic evidence collection, preservation and injury identification and documentation. Victims of assault will also be connected with community resources and will receive follow-up medical care as needed. Victims will have access to everything that they need to put them on the path to becoming survivors.
