Welcome to South Peninsula Hospital, a nonprofit community hospital serving the southern Kenai Peninsula. For the past 70 years, we have provided compassionate, high-quality care for our neighbors and visitors. What began as a three-bed facility has grown into a state-of-the-art critical access hospital, continually advancing to meet the changing and growing needs of our community.
Today, we offer a broad continuum of care—from primary and preventive to specialty services, surgery, emergency medicine, rehabilitation, and advanced imaging. With best-practice technology, highly credentialed providers, and specialized services such as joint replacement, robotic-assisted surgery, pulmonary care, and interventional radiology, our patients can receive exceptional care right here in Homer.
But South Peninsula Hospital is more than the breadth of our services. What makes this place special is the people behind them and the people we serve. We are where families welcome new babies, where patients receive emergency care when they need it most, and where hundreds of dedicated healthcare professionals build meaningful careers.
Thank you for entrusting us with your health. It is our privilege to care for you.
As a full-service hospital, we offer a complete range of medical services so you can access high-quality care close to home. From routine checkups to emergency medicine to specialty care, you can expect expert, compassionate care in a modern, patient-centered environment designed to support your healing and comfort.

Thank you to the many community members who attended our free educational presentation, “End of Life Decision Making,” this spring! This event was originally scheduled for Fall 2025, and we appreciate everyone’s flexibility with the rescheduling. We were honored to have Homer Medical Center’s Dr. Giulia Tortora, local estate planning attorney Lindsay Wolter, and Hospice of Homer death doula Morgan Laffert lead this important conversation. Together, they covered key aspects of end-of-life planning, including living wills, medical power of attorney, legal and medical decision-making, and emotional considerations.
Registration for the 10th annual Homer Steps Up community walking challenge (May 4 -31) opens April 15 on HomerStepsUp.com.
