McLeod Forensic Nurse Examiner Program
Celebrates First Anniversary

McLEOD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER 24 JANUARY 2023

The McLeod Forensic Nurse Examiner (FNE) Program, years in the making, recently celebrated one year of operation.

Serving adult and pediatric victims alike, the program operates out of McLeod Regional Medical Center, but plans to eventually expand to other McLeod Health hospitals. The McLeod FNE Team provides 24/7/365 forensic nurse coverage for victims of violence and neglect, utilizing the most-up-to-date evidence-based, trauma-informed and patient-centered forensic nursing practices.

To date, McLeod Forensic Nurses have treated more than 100 patients, surpassing the predicted 80 cases in its first year of operation by January 2023.
