Audra Strickland

Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara County recently celebrated the opening of a 152,000-square-foot structure built to comply with state seismic standards.

“In 1994, the State of California passed an unfunded mandate that (required) hospitals to be retrofitted to withstand a 6.0 earthquake,” CEO Ronald Werft explained at a ceremony held Aug. 15. “We looked at this as an opportunity to build a new hospital … We are grateful to the community for supporting this effort,” Werft said.

Santa Barbara County Seeks to Overhaul Mental Health Care Delivery

Audra Strickland

The HASC Santa Barbara/Ventura County Office plans to work with member hospitals throughout the region to share best practices in mental health from throughout Southern California counties, as Santa Barbara County seeks to overhaul mental health in the county.

With the receipt of recent grant funds, the county plans to focus on outpatient care with clinics, hoping to defer the mental health population from inpatient services. This would be done through changing the use of currently allocated mental health dollars.
