The Cornwall Community Hospital Assault and Sexual Abuse Program (ASAP) provides around-the-clock services and support for women, men and children who reside in Cornwall or in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. Established in 1992, ASAP is one of a number of hospital-based, sexual assault/partner violence victim-care centres in Ontario. It is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Our focus is on providing care to anyone who has been a victim of domestic violence (also known as partner assault), sexual assault or sexual abuse.
ASAP's services include emergency health care, evidence collection and photo documentation as well as testing for, and treatment of, sexually transmitted infections. This includes the provision of preventative, post-exposure medication at no charge to the client. We also provide crisis and non-crisis counselling, social-work services, referrals and community outreach.
