Confidential Medical Services

Within 120 Hours (Five Days) of Incident:
It is important to get medical and emotional help immediately after the incident. Consider going to the SANE Center at Stony Brook University Medical Center where you can obtain confidential medical care and a forensic exam by a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. This exam is free and allows you to obtain evidence should you decide to report the incident to the police and/or press charges in the future. Note: You do not need to report the incident to Police to receive SANE services. The SANE Center will hold the evidence for a minimum of 30 days. 

How to Access SANE Services:

You can access SANE services by going to the Stony Brook Medical Center Emergency Department. Go to the emergency room and let a triage nurse know that you are there for a SANE exam. Wear to the SANE exam (or take in a paper bag) the clothes you were wearing when the incident occurred to facilitate evidence collection. You will be provided a fresh set of clothing at the conclusion of the exam. It is strongly suggested that you do not bathe or douche, change clothing, comb your hair or brush your teeth. Even if you have done the above mentioned activities, you can go to the SANE center within 120 hours of the incident to get medical care and forensic evidence collection.

Our University Police will transport you to the SANE Center without requiring you to make a police report.
