A Dallas woman who was brutally raped inside her home is eager to help other North Texas victims who end up in the emergency room.
Im on this journey, Victoria, who asked that her last name not be used, said. Im on the right road to recovery.”
She’s signed on to help at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas’s future project: A 3,000 square foot unit that will have space dedicated for the examination and protection of sexual assault victims.
It will be called The W.W. Caruth Center for Safe Healing and will include three safe suites for victims and their loved ones, two exam rooms, restrooms with showers, a training room for staff members and a secure evidence room.
We want our victims to feel safe once they come back here, said Tammy Pruitt, one of the nurses who will work in the center.
