We at MESA recognize the importance of having emergency medical services made available to survivors in our own community. The SANE program provides this invaluable service to sexual assault survivors. The Daily Camera recently published an  article highlighting the success of the SANE program.  Between the cancellation of the program in 2002 through March of 2015, the Boulder community had to travel to Loveland or Denver for a SANE exam. Now the community can receive care after a sexual assault at Foothills Hospital-Boulder Community Health or the Medical Center of the Rockies.  Many appreciate that the service is now available to Boulder residents. There is a group of caring community members that deserve recognition. The Boulder District Attorney Stanley Garnett and Chief Trial Deputy Katharina Booth pushed for the return of this program, but recognized that funding was limited. The approval for funding the return of the SANE program came from the Boulder County Commissioners, Cindy Domenico, Deb Gardner, and Elise Jones.  Further support and funding were provided by Jessica Ladd-Webert, the Director of the CU Office of Victim Assistance, as well as Valerie Simons, the Title IX Coordinator for the CU Office of Institutional Equity & Compliance.  Furthermore, the program simply could not have taken off without well-qualified professionals, such as Elyse Diewald and Debra Delk, to administer quality care to survivors during a SANE exam.
