progress city with the launch of a program that will offer sexual
assault forensic exams starting by April 1, 2015, which will make it
easier to prosecute rape.
• The District Attorney Stan Garnett made the announcement that the
sexual assault forensic exams plan to be be offered at Boulder’s
Foothills Hospital in a community partnership. The exams, which are
also known as SANE exams aka rape kits, will also be available 24
hours a day at the emergency room.

specialized medical equipment.

Foothills Hospital. CU has agreed to provide nearly $150,000 for
SANE nurse training over the next three years.
