Albuquerque SANE Collaborative

What Albuquerque SANE Collaborative does

Albuquerque SANE Collaborative is a New Mexico nonprofit founded in October 1996 that provides free, confidential, 24/7 medical forensic examination services to victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking across Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance, and Valencia counties in central New Mexico. Its core product is the SANE exam, performed by Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and supported by nurse practitioners, physicians, victim advocates, and clinical leadership under Medical Director Stephanie Nguyen, MD; the exam includes Sexual Assault Evidence Kit (SAEK) collection, forensic photography, injury documentation, STI and pregnancy prophylaxis, trauma-informed patient-controlled protocols, and court testimony when required. The organization also delivers strangulation and human trafficking screenings, multi-language translation (Spanish, Navajo, ASL, Vietnamese, Swahili), community outreach presentations, and provider trainings.

The business is a community-funded nonprofit with no fee-for-service revenue; operations are financed through donations, community foundation grants, state and federal grants, and corporate contributions. Services are accessed primarily through a 24/7 nurse hotline (505-884-7263), a physical clinic at 625 Silver SW in the Family Advocacy Center, and referrals from law enforcement, hospitals, the Rape Crisis Center of Central New Mexico, and the Domestic Violence Resource Center. The organization's competitive position rests on a specialized clinical workforce, a multi-decade coordinated community response with law enforcement and the District Attorney's Office, and co-location within the Family Advocacy Center, rather than on any software, AI, or proprietary technology platform.

Product overview
