Spencer Hospital staff recently enjoyed a "Week of Five-Star Fun" to celebrate our prestigious five-star quality rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This week-long celebration was our way of expressing gratitude to all our employees for their dedication in providing outstanding care to our patients and community. This recognition is part of CMS's annual assessment of U.S. hospitals, which evaluates performance across 46 quality measures in five key categories: safety of care, mortality, patient experience, readmission rates, and timely and effective care. Spencer Hospital is one of just 381 hospitals nationwide to earn this top rating in 2024 and the only facility in Northwest Iowa to achieve this distinction. We are incredibly proud of our team at Spencer Hospital and our clinics. Thank you all for being the STARS of the show! #cms5starhospital #fivestars #fivestarrating #quality #services #healthcare #hospital #bestpractices #thankyou #employees #teamwork #thank #lovewhereyouwork #nowhiring #hospitaljobs #healthcarejobs #nursingjobs

Today, we had the privilege of surprising Dr. David Keith, a family physician at Avera Medical Group Spencer, with the exciting news that he has been named one of Iowa's 10 Hospital Heroes this year by the Iowa Hospital Association! Dr. Keith was nominated by a committee of his coworkers, who shared, "Dr. David Keith redefines what it means to be a care provider with his unique style and unwavering compassion. Whether he's in a traditional white coat, fun scrubs, a Boy Scout uniform, or even a kilt, his dedication to his patients remains unwavering. With a heart of gold, he consistently goes above and beyond. Dr. Keith’s versatility shines beyond medicine—he is also a doula, a storyteller, a photographer during deliveries, and often serenades laboring mothers with his musical talents. In the Emergency Department, he excels in leading critical situations, a skill honed through medical missions and mentorship roles. Dr. Keith’s commitment to excellence is evident in his active participation in various hospital committees and his readiness to take on diverse responsibilities, such as officiating weddings during the pandemic. Above all, he treats every person with compassion, addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. His infectious enthusiasm for healthcare makes him truly deserving of this Hospital Hero award.” Thank you, Dr. Keith, for selflessly serving your patients and our community at every opportunity. We are grateful for everything you do, each and every day! #hospitalhero #doctor #physician #familymedicine #familyphysician #hospital #healthcare #clinic #avera #spencer #rural #health #thankyou

Congratulations to Spencer Hospital’s ICU team for being our latest Team Daisy Award recipients! The ICU staff was nominated by a coworker and family member of a patient, who shared their heartfelt experience: “Team ICU was incredible during my father-in-law’s final stay at the hospital. On his first night in the ICU, we weren’t sure he would make it through. Despite the uncertainty, every team member took the time to explain everything that was happening, from vital signs to lab work, and they allowed us to be involved in his care. They remained calm and compassionate, even when we were feeling overwhelmed. They answered countless questions and ensured not only that my father-in-law was well cared for and comfortable, but also that our entire family felt supported. I deeply appreciate their care, compassion, and concern during such an emotional time for our family.” A big thank you to our amazing ICU team for being such a wonderful group at Spencer Hospital! #daisy #daisyaward #congrats #thankyou #healthcare #nurse #nursing #nurses #icunurse #hospital #spencer #iowa #rural #patientcare

Three dedicated professionals at Spencer Hospital were honored with GEM awards yesterday for going the extra mile to provide exceptional care and service to our patients. Erin O’Brien, receptionist at Abben Cancer Center, was nominated by a patient’s family member who shared: “At each visit, Erin is always very positive and willing to answer questions or connect us with someone in the department that can. Every time I call Abben, Erin is professional and so accommodating to meet our needs. I’ve observed her consistently meeting the needs of other patients and families in the waiting room as well.” Kara Schmillen, patient advocate, and Katie Cook, social worker at Spencer Hospital, were nominated for a Team GEM award by their coworker who noted: “Kara and Katie work tirelessly to help patients return home or find suitable facilities for rehab or permanent care. They face the challenges of securing facilities willing to accept a patient’s insurance and meet their needs. Despite the difficulties, they never give up and keep families informed throughout the process. They grieve with families, show compassion, and provide unwavering support. Even on long days, they return ready to continue their work. They leave personal matters at home and are always prepared to help wherever needed. They are truly a blessing to Spencer Hospital, our patients, and our staff.” Thank you for your dedication and hard work every day. You are all GEMS! #GEM #GEMAward #thankyou #employees #commitment #recognition #appreciation #service #healthcare #hospital #cancer #receptionist #socialworker #patientadvocate #healthcarejobs #spencer #iowa
