About the Facility

South Peninsula Hospital is a 22 bed critical access hospital (CAH) located on the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula. SPH has 3 LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery, postpartum) rooms with a view overlooking Kachemak Bay and welcomes about 150 babies per year. We specialize in low-intervention birth and can provide walking epidurals, tub birth, nitrous oxide, and 1:1 nurse patient ratios for birth support. Although we are the end of the road, we have 24/7 C-section capabilities, a delightful CRNA crew, around the clock respiratory therapy, and can safely manage women with more complicated births. SPH has 3 full-time midwives, 2 obstetricians, full time respiratory therapy and a team of family practice doctors that work collaboratively with nursing staff to provide family-centered and evidenced-based care. SPH is a level 1 nursery with the ability to transfer to Providence Anchorage Medical Center, if needed.

We have an amazing, friendly, collaborative, team of nurses and providers and we pride ourselves on our family-centered care and the ability and time to spend ample amounts of time supporting our patients through the birth experience. Because our birth census is variable and generally low-risk, all OB RNs are cross-trained to the medical surgical unit to take a patient assignment. No two weeks will ever be alike and you have the opportunity to build nursing skill in ways you cannot at larger hospitals.

Homer, Alaska, is a seaside town nestled on the shores of beautiful Kachemak Bay, offering breathtaking views of glaciers, mountains and wildlife. If you are looking for community, adventure, culture, scenery or solitude, you'll find all of that and more here.
