Company History

Since its opening on December 8, 1891, when Santa Barbara’s population was less than 5,000, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital has provided high quality, community focused care and has operated as a not-for-profit — founded, built and supported by the community it serves. Today our hospitals — in Santa Barbara, Goleta, and the Santa Ynez Valley — provide a comprehensive range of services and are consistently ranked among the most efficiently managed healthcare providers in California.
