Cottage Health is a not-for-profit health system that has served California's Central Coast since 1888. It provides advanced medical care across communities including Santa Barbara, Goleta Valley, and Santa Ynez Valley, treating approximately 80,000 emergency patients and managing 21,000 in-patient admissions annually.
The system has expanded its services through Virtual Care Access, a platform offering 24/7 virtual care that has facilitated over 10,000 virtual visits since its launch in 2019. This reflects the organization's broader commitment to increasing healthcare availability in the region.
Cottage Health operates under core values of excellence, integrity, and compassion. The organization maintains the Cottage Assistance & Relief (CARE) Fund, which provides financial support to employees facing personal hardship.
