Troy Record: Samaritan Hospital Sexual Assault Program Expands With Troy Housing Authority Sites

The Sexual Assault and Crime Victims Assistance Program for Rensselaer County at Samaritan Hospital is seeking individuals interested in training to become a volunteer advocate.

The Sexual Assault & Crime Victims Assistance Program (SACVAP) for Rensselaer County at Samaritan Hospital will expand with the addition of several new service sites located at Troy Housing Authority (THA) apartment complexes.

Samaritan Hospital held its 9th Annual “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event challenging men to literally walk a mile in women’s high-heeled shoes in a show of support for victims of rape and sexual assault. See the featured story in the Troy Record.
