MultiCare Health System received a $1.5 million grant to create a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) training program. The State of Washington does not have enough nurses trained to best help victims of sexual assault. "We have way more demand than we have trained nurses, not only in our state, this is a nationwide issue,” said June Altaras, MN, NEA-BC, RN, Chief Nursing Officer at MultiCare Health System The program will start next year and allow us to hold four trainings annually for the next three years. The training will be free for nurses across the state with the goal of having 300 nurses go through the SANE training course and having 15 nurses get certified, which means they will undergo extra training.
About us
MultiCare is a not-for-profit health care system with roots that go back well over 100 years since the founding of Tacoma’s first hospital. Today, we are the largest community-based, locally governed health system in the state of Washington with more than 20,000 employees including employees, providers, and volunteers. We are a very different organization than we were just a few years ago — larger, more diverse, embracing the changes that come our way as health care continues to evolve. But our commitment to our mission — partnering for healing and a healthy future — and our dedication to the health of the many communities we serve remains constant and unwavering. Our core values of Respect, Integrity, Stewardship, Excellence, Collaboration and Kindness, serve as our guiding principles and impact every aspect of our organization, including how we provide patient care and what we expect from each other. MultiCare is also proud of our commitment to workforce diversity and culturally competent care. This commitment is led by our CEO and supported through employee education and community outreach.
