Central Peninsula Internal Medicine (CPIM) was established in 1991 by Dr. William J. Kelley with a goal of providing quality medical care to clients on the Kenai Peninsula. The practice has grown with the central Peninsula community it serves and now includes six physicians, two certified nurse practitioners and a first-rate professional support staff. Each of our physicians is board certified in internal medicine, and our nurse practitioners are nationally licensed and certified. All of our medical professionals enjoy strong relationships with Central Peninsula Hospital, other Alaskan medical institutions and medical centers outside of the state of Alaska.
Central Peninsula Internal Medicine enjoys a particularly close relationship with the
University of Washington School of Medicine. The physicians at CPIM are on the
clinical faculty at the University of Washington and they host physicians from
their internal medicine training program (Residents) who work under their supervision for a month at a time. They also proctor third year medical students who spend six weeks at a time training at the clinic.
At CPIM, we consider our patients active participants in their health care and
emphasize patient education. More than treating your current conditions, CPIM
providers will work with you to develop the best proactive health plan for your
needs.
Like many of our clients, our providers are Alaska enthusiasts. Whether fishing the Kenai, running a sled dog team, or taking off on a moose hunt, the staff at PIM enjoys Alaska’s outdoor activities just as much as the patients we serve. We know that good health is necessary for you to enjoy your favorite Alaska activities, and our prompt, professional service is aimed at helping you attain it.
