Building Well. Being Well. The Campaign for the New Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital
The early chapters were well written. Now we’re asking for your help. Please join us to continue the legacy.
We are delighted that after four decades of providing quality, highly personalized care to Goleta and surrounding areas, we now have the opportunity to rebuild Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital. The new hospital will provide enlarged emergency care and surgical capabilities, an expanded Center for Wound Management, and a more efficient, patient-centered design to ensure medical excellence close to home for generations to come. Importantly, the new GVCH features a flexible design to accommodate future growth.   Designed to complement the patient care programs of Cottage Health System, GVCH will be enhanced by the replacement of the medical office building located on the hospital campus.   We appreciate the community’s interest and encouragement and invite your participation in Building Well. Being Well. The Campaign for the New Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital.   Ron Werft President & CEO Cottage Health System Diane Wisby Vice President Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital		Watch our progress!
