A free sexual assault exam is available within 7 days of an assault at any Jackson County hospital.
At the hospital you will be given a private room after checking in, and a specially trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) will be called; a confidential, community-based advocate will also be available.
You can receive a medical screening, STI medications, emergency contraception and evidence collection if you wish, even if you do not want to report to law enforcement. A SANE will discuss options for medical care, reporting and follow up services. You are in complete control of what happens during the exam.
All services are free; you will not be asked for insurance information.
To receive this care, go to the Emergency Department of any Jackson County hospital and tell them you are there for a sexual assault exam. View the list of area hospitals below and visit http://www.jacksoncountysart.org/help.html for more information.

Before you go
To help preserve evidence, try not to bathe, shower, brush your teeth or go to the bathroom. If you already have, evidence collection can still be done.
Try not to change your clothes, as they may contain evidence. If you have changed, you can bring your clothes to the hospital in a clean paper bag.
