💙 What an incredible night for the Kenai Peninsula!

This year’s Evening by the River, held Feb. 27th and hosted by the Central Peninsula Health Foundation, was the Foundation's largest and most successful yet. With more than 135 community members in attendance and the support of 37 generous sponsors, the evening raised $264,350 toward a new mammography machine for Central Peninsula Hospital.

A special thank you to our Platinum Sponsor, Aurora Integrated Oncology Foundation, whose $100,000 gift during the event helped propel the night’s fundraising success.

Because of this incredible community support, Central Peninsula Hospital is providing the remaining funding, bringing us to our $565,000 goal to purchase the new mammography system.

Once installed in Soldotna, our current mammography machine will be relocated to our clinic in Kenai, expanding access to lifesaving breast cancer screenings for women across the peninsula.

From our sponsors and donors to the volunteers and attendees who filled the room with generosity and heart—thank you for showing what community truly looks like.

Together, we are helping ensure women across the Kenai Peninsula have access to earlier detection and care close to home. 💙

✅ River Tower Power Fully Restored

Full power has been restored to the River Tower at Central Peninsula Hospital as of 12:45 p.m. today following last night’s utility-related outage.

Our facilities teams worked throughout the night alongside community partners to ensure services were restored safely and efficiently. Because of their incredible efforts, the River Tower will resume normal operations and operate at full capacity beginning Monday, February 23.

We are incredibly proud of our staff who worked through the night to protect patient safety and minimize disruption. Their professionalism, teamwork, and dedication to our community were on full display.

We are also deeply grateful to:
• Central Emergency Services for their rapid response
• Homer Electric Association for their partnership and expertise
• Huffer Electric Inc. for responding immediately to our call for assistance and supporting restoration efforts

Patient safety remained our top priority throughout the incident, and care teams coordinated closely with patients to reschedule appointments as needed.

We sincerely appreciate the patience and understanding of our patients who were impacted. We are grateful for the trust our community places in us and are pleased to return the River Tower to normal operations.

Thank you, Kenai Peninsula. 💙
