Medical Options

Regardless of whether you choose to file a report with the police or a complaint with the University, it is important that you obtain medical treatment following an assault.  Medical attention is not just for support in filing a complaint, it is to make sure that you are medically cared for following a trauma to your body.

As soon as possible after a sexual assault, a rape evidence exam may be conducted to collect evidence for criminal prosecution.  You can have the exam completed and make a decision at a later time if you want to file a police report.  Having the exam completed gives you more options for responding to the assault.  This exam can only be performed at a hospital emergency room.  Locally, this exam is performed at:

Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center

1000 Health Center Dr.

Mattoon, IL 61938

217-348-2525

 

If you do not want to go to the local hospital and you are currently enrolled at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, you may receive services at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Medical Clinic. If you are not sure what you want to do, you can review your options with the confidential advisor, Jessica Cobert (formerly Milburn), located at the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Counseling Clinic (217-581-3413) or a medical provider at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Medical Clinic (217-581-2727).
