Perimeter Behavioral Health isn’t just a crisis stabilization hospital for children ages 6-17. It’s home to a dedicated team committed to providing hope and transforming lives. Perimeter’s unique approach to nursing leadership, as explained by Director of Nursing Chris Mounce, is what sets Perimeter apart in the industry.
Chris emphasized Perimeter’s revolutionary nursing leadership model. Instead of being an overseer from above, she actively supports her team on the floor. She is the definition of a 360 leader. Nurses and supervisors at Perimeter are encouraged to engage directly with patients, ensuring they feel supported and valued throughout their shifts. It’s about relieving the pressure, making every day feel like a manageable challenge rather than a struggle.
Perimeter CEO Alyssa Ingle, champions a culture where everyone feels like they are an integral part of the team.

It’s a place where teamwork is paramount, and personal bonds are nurtured beyond the professional realm.
