About Our Organization

Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance the emotional and behavioral well-being of clients via a youth guided, family driven program that integrates individualized, developmentally appropriate, trauma informed, and culturally responsive practices within a safe, coercive free residential environment leading towards independence and embracing natural supports within the community.
We believe individuals should have the opportunity to receive services and support in their communities, regardless of the complexity of their condition, the severity of their condition, the severity of their disabilities, or the challenges of their behaviors.
Our team focuses on providing high-quality compassionate behavioral healthcare by utilizing evidenced-based practices, and rendering exclusive therapeutic residential treatment methods in a safe, caring environment. Our services model addresses the psychiatric, behavioral, psychosocial and educational needs of adolescent males and females, ages 9 to 17. These children leave the program able to function effectively in society and prepared for independent living.

Our facilities are designed and built exclusively to provide Psychiatric Residential treatment services. Each building has a capacity for twelve consumers with single and double occupancy rooms. The customized floor plan provides adequate space for all consumers. We have integrated the latest in state-of-the-art technology to ensure safety for our consumers. This includes video monitoring, biometric staff recognition equipment, in-house communication system, fully integrated magnetic door locking technology.

Chief Executive Officer

Fred Surgeon is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of our Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities and has served in this role since the organization’s founding in 2006. With a career in behavioral healthcare that began in 1995, Mr. Surgeon brings decades of experience in clinical operations, strategic leadership, and financial oversight.

He earned his Bachelor's degree in Accounting from North Carolina A&T State University and holds a Master’s in Public Administration from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Prior to establishing our facilities, he served as Chief Finance Officer for Southeastern Regional Mental Health, overseeing administrative and financial operations for an agency serving over 8,000 individuals. He also directed public mental health centers in Robeson and Scotland Counties, supporting a regional population of more than 175,000.

Mr. Surgeon began his work in behavioral health as the Director of a Special Education Evaluation Program in Richmond County, North Carolina, where he developed alternative placements for over 100 exceptional children. He later created the original in-house training program used during the launch of our facilities, designed to meet and exceed all state and program specific standards. While he no longer leads staff training, he remains highly involved in day-to-day operations and organizational strategy.

A defining strength of the organization is its leadership continuity. Since 2006, the agency has benefitted from the steady guidance of:

- Dr. Thomas Wilson, Medical Director
- April Parker, Billing and Reimbursement Manager
- Hillary Rumppe, Executive Vice President

This consistent leadership has created the foundation for quality, accountability, and a values based approach to care.

In 2020, Mr. Surgeon founded Sweet Valley Ranch, a 300-acre working farm in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Originally envisioned as a therapeutic outlet for youth in our care, the ranch now plays an integral role in our treatment model.

Through a structured partnership, each PRTF facility participates in regular visits to Sweet Valley Ranch, where clients engage in immersive, nature based learning.

These experiences include animal interaction, gardening, and educational tours of the farm’s life size dinosaur exhibits, promoting emotional growth, empathy, and self confidence.

“When I created Sweet Valley Ranch, I wanted to give our clients something more—a place where learning, healing, and imagination could live side by side. Nature has a way of connecting with people that therapy alone sometimes cannot. This partnership is something I am truly proud of.” — Fred Surgeon
