Methodist Hospitals understand that survivors of violence deserve compassionate, patient-centered, and trauma-informed care. Anchored in that belief, in 2023, the hospital established the STAR Center (Sexual Trauma Awareness & Recovery Center), a secure, private treatment center in its Gary, Indiana hospital that is providing medical forensic services to survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, child abuse, human trafficking, elder abuse, and more. Forensic medical exams, injury identification, evidence collection, safety planning, and coordination with community partners and law enforcement are just a few services certified forensic nurse examiners deliver. Gifts to Methodist Hospitals STAR Center Fund will support this ongoing work, helping survivors on their path to healing.
