This funding and partnership will help ensure that sexual assault survivors have 24/7 access to trau- ma-informed, confidential forensic and medical ex- ams, including access to medical providers that speak Spanish, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care,” said Terri Steenbergen, Executive Director of The Harbor.
