Central Peninsula Hospital is proud to welcome Angeline Delgado, LPC, as the new director of Central Peninsula Behavioral Health. After joining CPH in November 2025 as a mental health counselor, Delgado stepped into the director role in January 2026. She now leads a comprehensive program that provides residential, intensive outpatient and standard outpatient treatment for individuals facing substance use and related disorders, as well as mental health counseling services for adults and teens referred through our provider network. Originally from Alabama, Delgado moved to Alaska in July 2023. Before coming to CPH, she served as clinical program manager for Chris Kyle Patriot Hospital in Anchorage. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Troy University in Alabama and her master’s degree from William Carey University in Mississippi. Committed to serve Delgado’s path to behavioral health is rooted in service. She spent 20 years on active duty in the U.S. military, retiring in 2013 after multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Following her military career, she continued serving others as a deputy director for the Department of Veterans Affairs and as a program manager and nonclinical counselor for the U.S. Navy. Delgado says she joined the military to protect her country. After retiring, she chose to “fight a different war”—one against mental illness, addiction and suicide. She is especially passionate about trauma-informed care and suicide prevention. Community and the great outdoors What Delgado enjoys most about working at CPH is the strong sense of community. She appreciates the small-town spirit and the opportunity to give back in meaningful ways. Outside of work, Delgado loves Alaska’s outdoors. A former CrossFit and personal nutrition coach, she now enjoys hiking, camping and climbing mountains. She lives on the Kenai Peninsula with her significant other and is the proud mother of three children. Please join us in welcoming Delgado to her leadership role at CPH.
