A Kansas native, Spencer earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Fort Hays State University and his Master of Science in Nursing Leadership and Management from Emporia State University. His professional experience includes serving in multiple medical organizations, including The University of Kansas Health System in Kansas City and Hays Medical Center.

Spencer’s passion for nursing began early in life after witnessing the exceptional care his younger brother received in the pediatric ICU at The University of Kansas Health System following a severe football injury. That experience inspired his lifelong dedication to nursing and compassionate patient care.

Outside of work, Spencer enjoys an active lifestyle with his wife, Samantha, and their two sons, Bennie (8) and Ollie (5). The family eagerly awaits the arrival of their third son in late October. Together, they share a love for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Kansas City Chiefs. His free time is spent outside a much as possible and also enjoys fishing, camping, and golfing.

With the addition of Spencer Delgado to our leadership team, we continue to strengthen our commitment to our mission in providing patient-centered excellence experiences and the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
