Central Peninsula | Winter 2025

6 Central Peninsula Hospital Your generosity makes a difference Philanthropy often flows from a genuine desire to uplift others without expecting anything in return. Whether channeled through our churches, schools or local organizations, like the Central Peninsula Health Foundation (CPHF), this generosity reveals that by focusing on others’ needs, we also discover personal growth and fulfillment. Acts of kindness, whether financial donations or small gestures, not only heal and empower recipients but deeply enrich those who give. Identifying causes close to our hearts and committing ourselves selflessly to them brings unparalleled satisfaction and meaning to our lives. The CPHF serves as a vital support arm for Central Peninsula Hospital, advancing its mission through community-focused philanthropy and partnerships. Thanks to generous donations, the foundation has been able to create lasting benefits, including: ● Enhancing programs and activities at Heritage Place. ● Providing critical 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. ● Purchasing educational handbooks for breast cancer patients and their partners. ● Awarding scholarships to high school seniors pursuing medical careers. ● Adding breastfeeding pods for CPH employees and visitors. ● Supplying a utility trailer for Safe Kids of the Kenai Peninsula.
