Rachel Spengler, ENP-C

Rachel has worked in Emergency Medicine for 35 years. She trained in Albany, NY, gaining experience in large medical centers before returning to Vermont to serve smaller hospital Emergency Departments and the communities of her home state. While in Albany, she also worked at Mountain Sports Medicine at Mount Snow Resort—her hometown—for over 20 years, where she developed a strong interest in sports medicine, wilderness medicine, outpatient orthopedics, and trauma care.

By 1995, Rachel was practicing full-time in Vermont and has remained here since, serving in Emergency Departments across Southern Vermont, including SVMC Bennington, Springfield Hospital, Mount Ascutney Hospital in Windsor, and Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend, closest to where she now resides. Since 1998, she has been co-owner and practicing clinician (PA-C) with Emergency Services of New England, Inc., providing contracted PA staffing to local EDs and walk-in/urgent care clinics throughout Southern Vermont and New Hampshire. Through this work, she has had the privilege of collaborating with—and mentoring—many of the region’s finest Emergency Medicine PAs.

Born and raised in Vermont, Rachel has spent most of her adult life here. She lives in South Central Vermont with her 20-year-old son, who works locally in construction, and has family in Wilmington and Massachusetts. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, traveling, scuba diving, sailing, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and mountain biking. Her hobbies include gardening, cooking, architectural sketching, and painting.
