Advocacy

Counseling

  • “As big as Texas is, there’s a lot of gap areas. Until that is met and a patient can go into any hospital in this region, my work is not done.”

    — Dr. Khara Breeden, Founder and CEO of Texas Forensic Nurse Examiners

  • “We are always busy and try to give the best care we can. TXFNE forensic nurses provide that special care that helps not only the hospital but also the patient feel comfortable and heard.”

    — Katie Williams ER nurse, CHI St. Lukes Health, The Woodlands Hospital

  • “TXFNE nurses have really bridged the gap for us in providing fast and convenient forensic medical services for survivors of violence.”

    — David Angelo, Commander, Houston Police Department
