The SAFE Program at GBMC is coordinated by Registered Nurses, who are specifically trained and certified by the Maryland Board of Nursing to care for victims of rape, sexual assault, child abuse, and intimate partner violence. The SAFE nurses perform detailed medical-forensic examinations and documentation and collect forensic evidence to be submitted to the Baltimore County Police Department Crime Lab. These services are provided in a private, secure suite which is separate from the GBMC Emergency Department, once the patient has been evaluated for other injuries by an Emergency Department Physician.
