BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre Sexual Assault Service (SAS)

We provide care to anyone (male, female, transgendered), from any province or country, who is 13 or older and has been sexually assaulted within the past 7 days.  At the survivor’s request, forensic evidence can be collected for legal purposes. No referral or adult accompaniment required. Sexual assault survivors can access free services 24 hours a day by going directly to the Vancouver General Hospital Emergency Department. SAS also provides information and education to the public, community groups, medical personnel, and professional agencies; trains sexual assault nurse examiners and physicians; and offers information about setting up sexual assault medical services.
