During Patient Experience Week, we’re celebrating the partnership between patients and caregivers by recognizing how important patient feedback is to the care we provide at Spencer Hospital and our clinics!

Every patient survey returned makes a difference. These surveys are more than numbers to us. Our staff read every single comment that comes through, and we use that feedback to recognize what we’re doing well and identify opportunities to improve. Patient voices help shape the experience we provide every day.

From small suggestions to meaningful stories about care, each response helps us learn, grow, and better serve our patients and communities. If you receive a survey after your visit, we encourage you to complete it. Your feedback matters, and we truly value hearing from you.

Together, through listening, learning, and continuously improving, we can create the best possible experience for every patient who walks through our doors. Thank you for trusting us with your care and for helping us grow through your feedback. We are honored to serve this community and remain committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care every day.

We’re excited to share that Spencer Hospital’s Diagnostic Imaging team has successfully renewed their accreditations from the American College of Radiology for PET, Nuclear Medicine, and Ultrasound. The team has also once again earned the prestigious designation as a Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center for an additional three years.

This is a significant accomplishment, and we are grateful for the time, dedication, and attention to detail our Diagnostic Imaging team puts into maintaining these high standards of care.

The Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center designation requires successful American College of Radiology accreditation in mammography, breast ultrasound, and stereotactic breast biopsy. Spencer Hospital is proud to be the only Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center within a 90-mile radius.

Thank you to our outstanding Diagnostic Imaging team for everything you do each day to care for our patients and help make Spencer Hospital so special!

This week, we had the privilege of surprising two extraordinary nurses at Spencer Hospital with DAISY Awards in recognition of their exceptional care and dedication to patients and coworkers.

Callan Townsend, Surgical Services RN, was nominated by a coworker who shared: “During a very late and unexpected surgical case, Callan was mesmerizing to watch. She anticipated the surgeon and team’s needs, often two steps ahead, responding with calm precision and never showing hesitation. She moved through each unexpected challenge with grace, assisted with sterile gowns and supplies, and remained continuously prepared no matter what the case required. Her meticulous care continued through the patient’s transition to ICU, providing a thorough report and support every step of the way. Callan never showed frustration, only pure intention and professionalism. The patient and family may never know the exceptional care Callan provided, but everyone working that night saw it.”

Charlie Thompson, Med/Surg Nursing Supervisor, was nominated by a patient who shared: “Charlie is truly one of a kind. She made me feel special throughout my stay, always offering comfort, reassurance and kindness. She even came in early and on her day off just to say goodbye, which meant so much to me. She was always there to help, whether addressing discomfort or simply offering a kind word, and her presence brought comfort and reassurance. Other patients felt the same way. Charlie has a natural gift for nursing because she is sweet, approachable and easy to talk to. She made me feel valued every step of the way, and I think about her often, even now at home.”

Congratulations to Callan and Charlie on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you for the compassionate care you provide every day. 🌼💚
