Perimeter Behavioral Hospital outlines proposed inpatient program for neurodivergent youth
Summary
Perimeter Behavioral Hospital of West Memphis presented the design of a new inpatient program intended for neurodivergent youth; hospital leaders described the program framework to the task force but specific capacity and clinical details were provided in exhibits rather than transcribed.
Representatives from Perimeter Behavioral Hospital of West Memphis presented the design of a proposed inpatient program for neurodivergent youth to the task force on Nov. 17, 2025.
Erica K. Fox (Vice President, Business Development and Contracting), Natalie Bland (Director, Business Development) and Renee Smith (CEO) described the program’s clinical aims and structural design as summarized in Exhibits G1–G3. The transcript records that the presenters shared the program design but does not include clinical protocols, bed capacity, referral criteria or expected start dates; those items appear to be in the cited exhibits.
The presentation served to inform task force members about the private provider’s plans and to allow legislators and non-legislative members to understand how the program might fit into Arkansas care networks for neurodivergent youth. The transcribed excerpt does not record questions from members, formal endorsements, or licensing details.
