The Nebraska Sex Offender (SO) Treatment Program improves public safety by reducing the risk of re-offense, while also improving the quality of patients' lives. In 2018, NRC opened the Medical Support Program and began providing high quality nursing and medical treatment for men with significant physical conditions and a variety of psychiatric, cognitive, and aging issues. The program provides activities designed to maintain optimal functioning while at the same time meeting the specific psychiatric care and safety needs of each patient. At NRC, we value a culture where every teammate is respected as an individual, encouraged to grow professionally, and given opportunities for continued education and advancement. Our mission is to support patients as they prepare for community reintegration while upholding public safety-and we're looking for leaders who share that commitment.
