Central Peninsula Hospital announced in a Nov. 7 press release that the hospital’s board of directors has selected Angela Hinnegan to replace Shaun Keef as CEO following Keef’s retirement in January 2026.
Keef, who will retire on Jan. 2, has served as CEO since July 2022. Previous to his role as CEO, he was the hospital’s chief financial officer for two years and chief operating officer after that.
“Shaun has provided steady leadership during times of change and growth. We thank him for his years of dedicated service and his commitment to excellence,” Jay Rohloff, board of directors president, said in the release. “The Board is equally confident in the next phase of leadership under Angela Hinnegan, whose experience and connection to this community make her the right person to guide CPH into the future.”
Hinnegan currently serves as the hospital’s chief financial officer. She has more than 23 years of experience in executive leadership, healthcare finance and operations.
“Angela’s deep roots in this community, combined with her proven record of strategic leadership and operational expertise, make her uniquely qualified to lead Central Peninsula Hospital,” Rohloff said. “She understands both the values and the vision that drive this organization.”
Hinnegan was raised in the central Kenai Peninsula and graduated from the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. After beginning her career in CPH’s finance department, she became the director of financial reporting at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle. She took on her current role as CPH’s chief financial officer in August.
“This hospital and this community have given me so much,” Hinnegan said in the press release. “It’s an honor to give back — to care for the people who cared for me, and to help guide this organization into its next chapter of excellence.”
In the release, the board of directors extended its appreciation to Keef for the hospital’s growth, financial stability and innovation under his guidance.
“It’s been a privilege to serve this remarkable organization and community,” Keef said in the release. “While I’ll miss the people who make Central Peninsula Hospital such a special place, I’m confident the hospital’s future is in excellent hands. The team here is second to none, and I know they will continue to carry forward the mission of compassionate, personalized care.”
