👏Big news! Aurora Integrated Oncology Foundation along with Central Peninsula Hospital, and generous community sponsors from 'An Evening By the River' last Friday, women across the Kenai Peninsula will have access to earlier detection and care close to home with a brand new mammography machine in Soldotna, and the relocation of their current unit to the clinic in Kenai!💙Screening Saves Lives and we couldn't be happier to have been included with AIOF as the Platinum $100,000 sponsors to help make this possible!

💙 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. 💙

🩷February is the season of love, and in cancer care that includes protecting what matters most, your heart. AlignRT, the radiation therapy system that we use right here at our clinic, allows radiation treatments to be delivered with greater precision, helping minimize exposure to the heart and surrounding healthy tissue compared to older methods. ❤️This is especially meaningful for patients undergoing treatment for cancers near the chest, including breast and lung cancer, where heart protection is critical. Thoughtful innovation like this reflects our commitment to safer treatment, better outcomes, and caring for the whole person, not just the cancer.

🩷During National Cancer Prevention Month, we’re reminded that in Alaska, where cancer rates remain higher than national averages, prevention and early detection offer real hope. Just as important are the spouses, partners, family members, and friends whose encouragement often leads to screenings, appointments, and care.💗Their love, advocacy, and support are powerful, and they save lives. ❣Happy Valentine’s Day, let your health be part of your love story!
