OMAHA, NE — American Ebola patient Dr. Rick Sacra arrived around 8 a.m. Friday at the Nebraska Medical Center.
An ambulance took the Sacra to the medical center from the Offutt Air Force Base where he landed.
Dr. Sacra was placed in the center’s biocontainment unit and will soon undergo treatment. Sacra has been with Charlotte based SIM USA since the 1980’s.
The doctor contracted the deadly Ebola virus while delivering babies at a hospital in Monrovia. The organization’s president read a statement from Sacra today.
“Frankly my main concern are for Debbie and my boys, and the ministry of SIM and how that would affect things. I can only trust that God is at work,” read SIM USA President Bruce Johnson.
Dr. Sacra says he’s in good spirits and hopeful for recovery.
