The Trinity Health Foundation has received a $100,000 grant from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation for the new Trinity Health Healthcare Campus and Medical District Capital Campaign.

The funds will be specifically allocated to the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner interview and exam rooms in the new Trinity Health Emergency Trauma Center. The spaces are completely private and will allow patients to remain in the same area throughout their time in the trauma center. The new space also includes a bathroom and a shower.

Trinity Health has a partnership with the Central Dakota Forensic Nurse Examiners organization to provide care for sexual assault victims in the region. In 2021, there were 44 sexual assault victims seen in Minot alone.

Trinity Health Foundation recently launched the HealthCare Campus and Medical District Capital Campaign to raise $15 million to support the $520.5 million project. In the early stages of the campaign, Trinity Health Foundation has raised $4.6 million. Donations are being sought from regional and national foundations, corporate donors, private donors, and Trinity Health staff through fundraisers.
