Weems Memorial Hospital is reminding everyone that April is sexual assault Awareness and prevention Month in Florida.
Weems Memorial Hospital has been a part of Franklin County’s Sexual Assault Response Team for more than 10 years, providing a coordinated, survivor-focused response to the needs of sexual assault victims.
Weems features a designated room in the Emergency Department equipped for medical staff to administer medical attention to sexual assault victims.
Weems nurses are equipped to handle medical situations involving cases of sexual abuse.
Beyond medical attention, Weems medical staff help sexual assault victims by providing victim advocate resource information to make sure sexual assault victims have all the resource information they need to move forward as they recover physically.
Other local partners in Franklin County include victim advocates with the Refuge House, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department and the Office of the State Attorney.
