Gold, MD, and spoke with leaders of the Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska about UNMC\u2019s statewide behavioral health efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also toured the iEXCEL program, viewing educational technology such as the five-sided laser cave, 3D learning technology and high-tech mannikins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dungan, who currently serves on the board of Bridge Behavioral Health in Lincoln, said he is aware of the importance of behavioral health treatment, including substance use disorder treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople talk a lot about community safety and how to support people in our communities who are underrepresented,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can do that through implementing better behavioral health services, which starts with retaining work force. You can\u2019t provide more behavioral health services if you don\u2019t have the people to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dungan, a former public defender in Lancaster County, said state support for UNMC is important, pointing to UNMC\u2019s leadership in the pandemic response and medical technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe university system is one of the major things in Nebraska that is driving innovation, creating incentive for people to stay here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<!-- <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" title=\"LEzVoUgP IbqBIiIU \">LEzVoUgP IbqBIiIU <\/a> --><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dungan met with Chancellor Jeffrey P.
