INDIANAPOLIS — For 25 years, the Center of Hope at Community Health Network has been dedicated to caring for victims of violence, abuse and neglect, especially sexual assault and interpersonal violence. Since 1998, thousands of lives have been positively impacted by the Center of Hope.
Caregivers, law enforcement, elected officials, and community members gathered at Community Hospital East recently to commemorate the work of the Center of Hope. The celebration included a tour of the space at the hospital dedicated to caring for victims of sexual assault.
Victims can be seen by a forensic nurse examiner at Community Hospitals East, North, and South. The Center of Hope may provide many other services depending on the victim’s unique situation, including medical care, crisis intervention services, referrals to counseling and support groups, and much more.
The Center of Hope team works closely with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, law enforcement, victim’s assistance, mental health, and social service agencies to help victims access the services they need.
Services at the Center of Hope are available 24/7, including weekends and holidays by calling (317) 355-4673 or through the emergency departments and inpatient units at Community Hospitals East, North, and South.
