Polk County Crisis and Advocacy Services Provides Additional Sexual Assault Exam Site

(Des Moines, IA) - Planned Parenthood North Central States and Polk County Crisis and Advocacy Services have partnered together to provide survivors of sexual assault with an alternative exam site during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Planned Parenthood North Central States has increased the availability of the Rosenfield Center for acute sexual assault exams to increase options for survivors outside of emergency rooms. The Mid-Iowa Sexual Assault Response Team has seen a decrease in the number of sexual assault responses since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

Survivors of sexual assault can access services by calling (515) 286-3600.  A certified advocate will be able to provide information, support and options available. The Rosenfield Center is located at 1000 E Army Post Road in Des Moines, Iowa.
