Maricopa County Family Advocacy Centers

Distance from ASU campuses

Following an experience of sexual or domestic violence, you may wish to seek out a medical forensic exam in order to collect evidence and receive follow-up care. Every state, and even sometimes individual counties, have a different process for when and where medical forensic exams are offered.

In the state of Arizona, each county has a different process for where the exams are offered. In Maricopa County, HonorHealth Forensic nursing services holds a contract with the County Attorney’s office to offer free, trauma-informed medical exams within five days or 120 hours of the assault conducted by specially trained nurses, regardless of whether or not the assault is reported to the police. The exams take place at Family Advocacy Centers in order to ensure the safety of the victim or survivor.
