NORWICH – The operations director and principal psychologist at Valley Ridge Center For Intensive Treatment was recently transferred.

Fred Barnes of Preston, who has been the directing psychologist at the facility since 2005, is now principal psychologist at the Broome Developmental Disabilities Services’ Local Intensive Treatment facility in Binghamton.

The Broome DDSO took over operations and management control of Valley Ridge last year. Both are under the auspices of the New York State Department of Health’s Office for People With Developmental Disabilities.
