Spencer, IA (KICD)– Work on the new Spencer Hospital Emergency Department is surging forward as contractors take advantage of warmer than normal temperatures.

Hospital President Brenda Tiefenthaler told the Board of Trustees Thursday work really kicked into gear around mid-week.

Angela McCaulley from CMBA Architects adds besides steel movement the first signs of interior type work is starting to take shape.

The new multi-million dollar Emergency Department for Spencer Hospital is scheduled to be completed by late this year or early 2025.
