South Peninsula Hospital
promotes community health and wellness
by providing personalized, high quality, locally coordinated healthcare.

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.
