Services
Cottage Hospital is a full-service hospital, primarily serving the diverse population of Santa Barbara County. There are two other satellite hospitals within the Cottage Health Care system, Santa Ynez Cottage Hospital and Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital. All three hospitals have been mandated by the State of California to conform to new earthquake standards. As a result, both the Santa Barbara and Goleta campuses are in the process of rebuilding 21st century hospital facilities. While the Santa Barbara hospital is now fully funded, a capital campaign is still in progress to fully fund the new Goleta facility. The hospital has regular medical-surgical beds as well as a CCU and an ICU.
A full gamut of medical services are available, including a neonatal intensive care unit. The standard of care in the community is generally that of cardiac catheterization (not thrombolytics) for heart attacks requiring intervention.
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital is a training institution with resident physicians in internal medicine, surgery and radiology. Medical students also can do rotations at Cottage.

Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
