Antelope Valley Hospital Receives Grant

The Antelope Valley Hospital Foundation received a $24,000 grant to benefit the Forensic Services Unit (FSU) of Antelope Valley Hospital. The grant comes from Verizon. It will be used to purchase equipment for the unit, which services victims of sexual violence and domestic abuse. The unit helps TK people a year and was recently expanded to service victims of domestic violence. Among other things, the unit will use the money to purchase a diffuse light source, which can enhance the quality of photos that are used to document an incident. The unit also plans to use the money to expand staff training and education about how to best capture and document evidence for police and the courts. The foundation will announce the award at a press conference on Tuesday. Judy Temes Staff Reporter
