OMAHA- It’s been 10 years since medical missionary Dr. Richard Sacra was released from the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit after he spent nearly three weeks there undergoing treatment for Ebola. “Sacra was the first patient treated at the unit and the third American to be treated for Ebola on U.S. soil during an outbreak that took place in Western Africa in late 2014,” according to a news release this week from Nebraska Medicine.
