About Us
The Kenai Public Health Center provides services to Kenaiand the subregion, including the communities of Soldotna, Cooper Landing, Hope, Moose Pass, Funny River, Kasilof, Nikiski, Sterling, Seward, and Tyonek. The health center is staffed by Public Health Nurses (PHNs I-IV) and support staff (OA I-II, OA IV).
Kenai Public Health Center holds a Saturday immunization clinic to accommodate clients (age 29 and under) who cannot visit during regular business hours. The clinic is open 9:00am-4:00pm on the second Saturday of the month. Please call 907-335-3400 to make an appointment.
Public health nursing plays a major role in infectious disease surveillance and investigation. We partner with State of Alaska Epidemiology through local public health nursing case investigations of tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), foodborne illnesses and other reportable diseases such as giardiasis.
Each clinic visit, we also offer individual screenings and referrals for domestic/interpersonal violence, healthy lifestyle, and alcohol use risk.
