While all hospitals in Pennsylvania are required to perform sexual assault exams when patients present in the emergency department, some hospitals have elected to establish dedicated sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) programs. SANEs are registered or advanced practice nurses who receive specialized training in forensic collection of evidence related to sexual assault, as well as trauma informed care. In accordance with Act 59 of 2023, following is a list of hospitals that have elected to provide SANE services to patients as of April 2024:
