A medical forensic exam is only one of many services that victims may need after an assault. Michigan Forensic Examiners strives to uphold the highest standards and practices in providing all victims with complete and comprehensive victim care. To accomplish this, we are partnered with community organizations in each county that we serve.

Partnerships

SAGINAW COUNTY

MFE’s Saginaw County collaborations allow us to provide medical forensic services in trusted, private settings, reducing barriers and enhancing care for those in need.

  • CAN Council, Underground Railroad, and the Sexual Assault Center of Child and Family Services of Saginaw
    MFE is the exclusive provider of medical forensic exams for clients referred by these organizations. Each organization offers a private, confidential space where clients can receive medical forensic exams when necessary. Additionally, the Sexual Assault Center of Child and Family Services supplies trained advocates to support survivors during every exam in Saginaw County.

  • Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU)
    Through our partnership with SVSU, MFE offers free medical forensic services to students who have experienced sexual or physical assault. This on-campus service ensures students have access to timely, compassionate care in a familiar environment.

  • Healthcare Facility Collaborations
    MFE works closely with major healthcare facilities in the county to provide expert forensic care directly within emergency departments. These partnerships allow for faster response times and ensure survivors receive the specialized care they need without unnecessary delays.

THUMB-AREA COUNTIES

(Huron, Sanilac, Tuscola)

Access to medical forensic services in Michigan’s rural Thumb Region has historically been limited, with patients often needing to travel outside their county for care. Our collaborations with key agencies in the region, such as the Thumb Area Assault Crisis Center, have helped make both exams and supportive services more accessible, allowing patients to receive the full spectrum of care close to home.

ROSCOMMON COUNTY

MFE is expanding to increase response locations to northern areas of Michigan. The Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center serves as a location where MFE conducts forensic medical exams.
