Seasons Center’s Spencer office reopens Nov. 20

Seasons Center for Behavioral Health’s administrative office, located at 201 East 11th Street in Spencer, will be reopening on Monday, Nov 20. All adult services will resume at that location.

The office has been closed for renovation since January. Over the last 10 months crews have worked hard installing a new heating and cooling system, a new fire suppression system and a new fire alarm system, upgrading the elevator and refreshing the overall look of the space. Crews also remodeled a portion of the office to create a brand-new space dedicated to crisis stabilization services.

“We are excited to announce the reopening of our Spencer office,” said Dan Ries, President and CEO of Seasons Center. “The final outcome at the administrative office was well worth the wait and we are excited for clients and staff to be able to enjoy an updated, remodeled space.”

With Spencer Hospital’s construction project still in progress, clients will need to access Seasons Center from the east. Third Avenue East or East 11th Street will be the most direct routes to the office.
