Confidential Resources

If you are a victim of a sexual assault, you may decide to request a medical forensic exam from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) to preserve evidence that may be used for the purposes of legal action. While you do not need to decide immediately if you want to report to law enforcement or pursue legal action, the preservation of evidence is most effective when done immediately after an assault. It is ideal to obtain medical treatment as soon as possible before bathing, showering, douching, or changing clothes. There is no cost to the exam. You may go to the following emergency room providers to request a SANE exam: Parkview Medical Center (Pueblo), St. Mary Corwin (Pueblo), St. Thomas Moore Hospital (Cañon City), Mercy Regional Medical Center (Durango), or Southwest Health System (Cortez).  If you do not have transportation to the emergency room, you may contact a friend or family member, Pueblo College Public Safety (719.549.3355), sexual assault advocates that provide transportation services, taxi service, public transportation, or other providers.  Any cost for transportation is the responsibility of the student.  Victims who choose to have a medical forensic examination done are not obligated, at any time, to participate in a law enforcement investigation, any criminal justice response along with any administrative proceedings with the College.
