Description
Join us for a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the grand opening of Center of Hope's SAFE Clinic (Sexual Assault Forensic Exam Clinic) in Maury County.
This clinic will focus on serving Maury, Giles, Lawrence and Wayne Counties and will be available to anyone age 16 and up who has experienced rape or sexual assault in the last 120 hours. If the victim would like a rape kit, our trained SANE nurses will collect the evidence for the kit and our advocates will be available with resources/help. We are partnering with a local medical office as well as Maury Regional Medical Center.
