South Peninsula Hospital

South Peninsula Hospital is a non-profit hospital that was founded in 1956, then as a three-bed PUD (public utility district). It has grown over sixty years into a state-of-the-art critical access hospital with 9 ER beds, 3 birthing center beds, and 18 acute care beds, with an attached Long Term Care and numerous ancillary clinics and medical offices. The hospital is the result of a unique partnership between the Kenai Peninsula Borough (service-area tax support for the facility and capital investments), City of Homer (for the land), and SPH, Inc., (the non-profit organization which provides the healthcare).
