Soldotna Police officer commended

On behalf of the Peninsula Community Health Services Board of Directors and staff, I would like to take this time to publicly thank the Soldotna Police Department for their support of our community, and especially, Officer Bower. Officer Bower has been very responsive to our needs, demonstrated professionalism and excellent service. PCHS appreciates Officer Bower’s time and assistance in helping make our facility safe.

First responders, including police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians work around the clock to keep our community safe. They often willingly miss out on family time during the weekend, weeknights and holidays. They are patrolling our streets when we are asleep in our beds. They are not nearly thanked enough for their tireless service to our community and since we and the people we serve benefit from their dedication, we wanted to take a moment to recognize them and Officer Bower for the exceptional service they provide to us all.

PCHS would like to take this opportunity to show our support and gratefulness for those who protect and serve our community.

With sincere appreciation,

Monica Adams, CEO

PCHS
