Your orthopedic care, close to home When you’re facing orthopedic issues, the last thing you need is disruption or uncertainty. At Central Peninsula Hospital, we believe the best healing happens close to home, where your support system is. This way travel isn’t a burden, and you can feel condent in the care you receive.

We offer a full spectrum of orthopedic services right

here on the Kenai Peninsula, including two clinics with Joint Commission Centers of Excellence designations. Whether you’re dealing with sports injuries, arthritis, joint replacement, foot, ankle, upper extremity or spinal issues, our board-certied orthopedic team is here to help you return to an active life—without ever leaving town.

THE CENTRAL PENINSULA ADVANTAGE Trusted, local providers Central Peninsula Bone & Joint Center

(Joint Replacement Center of Excellence)

Central Peninsula Kenai Spine (Spine Surgery Center of Excellence)

Central Peninsula Foot & Ankle Specialist Living and working in our community, our board-certied providers treat everything from sprains and fractures to chronic pain and complex injuries.

We offer advanced imaging, physical therapy, non-surgical care, and surgery when needed—including roboticassisted procedures like ROSA® Knee Replacement and the Mazor X Stealth Robotic Guidance Platform for spine surgery. But exceptional care means more than technology—it’s about how you’re treated. With us, you’re never just a case. You’re a neighbor, a friend, and part of the community we’re proud to serve.

That’s not always the case with outof-town providers like the recently opened orthopedic clinic from Anchorage. Surgeons from that group

commute to Soldotna just one or two days a week. If surgery is needed, patients are told, “You’ll need to come to Anchorage.” That means more travel, more cost, and less time with your support network.

The CPH Orthopedics Team

There’s a better way—right here at home.

At CPH, your care includes: • One bill – No surprises. Imaging, physician visits, surgery (including anesthesia), and rehab are bundled together for clarity and simplicity.

• One location – No long drives, hotel stays, or time away from your family.

Everything you need is right here in your community.

• One trusted system – We offer savings through our Community Benet Program, a 25% prompt pay discount, and exible payment plans—support you won’t nd with out-of-town practices.

You have a choice. Choose care that’s integrated, local, and built for you. At Central Peninsula Hospital, we’re proud to offer orthopedic care that’s not only close to home—but truly centered on your health, your schedule, and your life.

AUTO GLASS ( 907 ) 260-7433

Nick’s Auto Glass is a preferred shop for all insurance companies, offering a lifetime warranty against leaks, defects and workmanship for as long as you own your vehicle.

ADAS Recalibration During Windshield Replacement Does your windshield have an ADAS camera?

More and more vehicles have advanced safety systems and almost all vehicle manufacturers require that the camera connected to your windshield be recalibrated when your windshield is replaced. These systems typically use front-facing cameras as part of the vehicle’s advanced safety system which are designed to protect you and your vehicle on the road, and will only be able to do so if they are functioning correctly.

When damage occurs and a windshield replacement is necessary, these camera systems need to be recalibrated in order to maintain the integrity of the system. The windshield repair technicians at Nick’s Auto Glass are highly trained and experienced with the recalibration process. This will ensure your vehicle safety systems are working properly and continue to keep you safe on the road.

Windshield damage can be dangerous when driving.

It is important not to wait to repair or replace your windshield when damage occurs. Nick’s Auto Glass has been in business since 2009 with over 20 years of auto glass repair experience. We are dedicated to providing quality, efficient auto glass repairs at an affordable price.
