Central Peninsula | Winter 2026

Your generosity makes a difference Giving from the heart begins with a desire to help others—and when our community comes together to give, the impact reaches far beyond a single moment. Through generosity, we strengthen local health care, support families in need and ensure that vital services remain available close to home. What does the CPH Foundation do? The Central Peninsula Health Foundation plays an essential role in supporting Central Peninsula Hospital by investing in programs, equipment and services that directly benefit patients and families across the Kenai Peninsula. Thanks to generous community donations, the Foundation has helped make lasting improvements, such as: Enhancing programs and activities at Heritage Place. Providing vital medications for patients in need. Offering transportation assistance for medical appointments. Upgrading the Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehab Gym with advanced equipment. Installing wheelchair-accessible garden beds at Heritage Place. Purchasing an infant simulator for obstetric training. Providing educational handbooks for breast cancer patients and their partners. Awarding scholarships to high school seniors pursuing medical careers. Adding breastfeeding pods for employees and visitors. Supplying a utility trailer for Safe Kids of the Kenai Peninsula. The Foundation proudly supports Central Peninsula Hospital, Heritage Place, Serenity House and the many individuals who rely on these services every day. Every donation—large or small—becomes part of a circle of care that strengthens our entire community.
