We work closely with Safer and provide medical services for any concerns related to sexual assault or intimate partner violence. Upon the patient’s consent, we also refer to the San Luis Obispo County Suspected Abuse Response Team (SART) and our community partners at Lumina Alliance. If you would feel more comfortable meeting confidentially with a Safer advocate before your medical appointment, please contact Safer or schedule on their appointment page first.
