South Coast Hospital To Move; Building New, Expanded Facility

A specialized hospital on the South Coast is planning a big move to allow the expansion of its facilities.

Cottage Health is going to relocate its Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital from Santa Barbara to Goleta.

The hospital helps people with issues like brain and spinal cord injuries, stroke impacts, and complex orthopedic conditions.  The facility has been operating in Santa Barbara for more than 60 years.

The facility will move to the Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital Campus.  The expanded facility will be able to accommodate 30 patients in private inpatient rooms.  There will gym space, and related facilities like labs and a pharmacy. 

Design work is underway, with the goal to have the facility approved, built, and ready for use by late 2023.
