Nonprofit Overview
Causes: General Hospitals, Health
Mission: It is the mission of goleta valley cottage hospital (gvch) to provide superior health care through a commitment to our community and to our core values of excellence, integrity, and compassion. The volunteer board of directors uses these core values to make decisions that will give our community access to affordable, quality healthcare.
Programs: Goleta valley cottage hospital is a 122-bed acute-care hospital located in the city of goleta. In 2014, the hospital had 14,025 patient days and served 39,511 outpatients, including emergency services to 18,415 patients. The hospital provides a wide array of inpatient and outpatient services, including but not limited to cardiac, orthopedic, wound care, breast care, emergency and sub-acute services. Goleta valley cottage hospital works to ensure that all patients have adequate access to healthcare and those who do not present with insurance are automatically screened for eligibility in government health programs and are assisted in applying for charity if the patient does not qualify for any other assistance. Cottage health, which includes santa barbara cottage hospital, goleta valley cottage hospital and santa ynez valley cottage hospital, provides critical funding for community health, charity care, and external grants, while also realizing shortfalls in medicare, medi-cal, and indigent care. Activities in these areas included screenings and health fairs; classes, clinics, lectures, and seminars; community services; community collaborations; and coalitions/committees. In 2014, cottage health spent over $158 million on these programs.
