On Thursday, Nov. 12, Michigan State University opened up its first-ever sexual assault health care program for MSU students, staff, faculty, and anyone in the tri-county area and Clinton county.

MSU’s sexual assault health care program provides the option for survivors of sexual assault to receive treatment. The Center for Survivors designed the program for people who have been sexually assaulted within the last 5 days, have access to medical examinations, medical treatment and post-assault care without going through a hospital system.

Tana Fedewa, Center for Survivors at MSU Director, said that college students that the Center for Survivors has been serving have many barriers when going to an emergency room in terms of financial ramifications of an emergency room visit, unsure of wanting the police to be contacted yet or not wanting their parents to find out through billed insurance.
