  Jeremy received his undergraduate degree from the University of St. Francis and continued his studies at the University of Illinois where he received his MSW. Jeremy has been in behavioral health for over twenty years with experience in inpatient, outpatient and residential programs. He began his career as a social work intern and throughout the years has held positions in business development, assessment and referral services, clinical services and most recently as CEO.

He recognizes the importance of teamwork and communication and how they tie together to effectively provide quality patient care. "When you add in caring and committed staff to an improved process, you see better patient outcomes. Seeing patients measurably improve and leave our care with a solid plan and increased skills is the best reward!" When not spending time at the facility, you will find Jeremy spending time with his family, running between his kids activities with their sports and music. He is an avid reader and plays some music on the side. He is currently learning how to play the guitar!

  Hannah graduated from nursing school in 2017 from Indiana State University and started her psych nursing indirectly on a med-surg floor that had many patients suffering from mental health and recognized it was an area she really loved. She enrolled in University of Tennessee Health Science Center to obtain her doctorate in psychiatric mental health and from there started as a floor nurse in a mental health facility, grew into the house supervisor role, and then the Chief Nursing Officer. On that path, she also became a board-certified psychiatric nurse. Hannah is very excited to be on the Perimeter team and start this new chapter in her life, serving a population she has a passion for. Hannah enjoys supporting her nursing staff by educating them and helping make a positive change in direct care and policy. She loves being able to know that her team feels heard and supported. In turn, she takes care of them so they can take great care of our patients. Hannah is also thrilled to work with the kids and watch the transformation of a child from the beginning of their stay until the end. Experiencing the change that happens, when kids leave the facility happy and excited about their futures has been extremely rewarding. In her spare time, she remains busy with outdoor activities, home projects or learning something new. She is always up for a challenge.
