KXRM-TV (Colorado Springs) | Telehealth program offers support to forensic nurses
UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central leads the charge in healthcare innovation, home to a one-of-a-kind medical unit dedicated to providing forensic nursing care for victims or suspected victims of violence or abuse. Last April marked the opening of the 3,700-square-foot Forensic Center of Excellence, featuring five exam rooms and a nurses’ station, serving as the central point for the forensic telehealth program. “Since we opened just short of a year ago, we have seen a massive increase in patients but also have gotten some really incredible feedback from our patients about how much they love this space,” said Clinical Manager for the UCHealth Forensic Nurse Examiners Team, Sarah Hagedorn. “How much they just appreciate sort of the colors, the feel, the quiet and the safety in the Forensic Center of Excellence, so this is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
