Central Peninsula | Summer 2026

Central Peninsula Hospital (CPH) continues to invest in advanced technology to meet the growing health care needs of our community. We are proud to share that a new CT scanner has been installed in our River Tower, matching the state-of-the-art system added to the main hospital in June 2025. Clear images mean precise treatment Both scanners are Siemens Somatom X.cite systems, designed to deliver highly detailed images while prioritizing patient comfort and safety. By installing the same make and model in both locations, we are able to ensure consistent image quality, streamlined workflows and reliable access to advanced diagnostic services. These 128-slice CT scanners produce exceptionally clear images, helping providers detect conditions earlier and plan treatment more precisely. The system offers low-dose lung cancer screening and cardiac CT capabilities, including calcium scoring. This positions CPH for future growth in heart care. Faster and more comfortable The scanners are also designed with patients in mind. A wider opening allows for a more comfortable experience, and the table accommodates a broad range of patients. Faster scan times mean many exams can be completed quickly, reducing the time patients need to remain still. Advanced imaging now near you Technology investments like these reflect our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, local care. By bringing advanced imaging here, CPH continues to strengthen access to essential services—so our community can receive needed care right here on the Kenai Peninsula.
