Community Health Needs Assessment

Cottage Health, representing Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, and Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital partners with community organizations and agencies to conduct a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) every three years.

Assessing the most pressing health needs in the Santa Barbara County, this report describes the well-being of Santa Barbara County’s residents and selected social determinants of their health, with comparisons to California’s health profile as a whole. It also connects selected health indicators for Santa Barbara County to the goals or targets in Healthy People (e.g., HP 2030), data-driven national objectives set every ten years by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
