Cottage Health increases convenient health care access
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Cottage Health Centers will be open urgent care centers in order to increase convenient access to healthcare in Santa Barbara.
Cottage Health is introducing Cottage Urgent Care for treatment of minor injuries and illnesses.
Cottage Urgent Care plans to open 10 centers in the tri-counties region with the first opening in summer of 2020.
The centers will be in storefront locations from Oxnard to San Luis Obispo and will be open 365 days a year from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
They will provide walk-in care for patients of all ages.
Services will also include X-ray, lab and medications.
Cottage says that each center will be staffed by a licensed nurse practitioner and patient concierge team members dedicated to assisting patients during their visit and ensuring an efficient and comfortable care environment.
Cottage Health's goal is to complete care within 30 minutes.
This is just one of two new care options that Cottage Health has launched this year. The other was Cottage CareNow, a virtual care service for online visits.
Both of these services will help connect patients to local physicians for follow-up and preventive care to improve overall health.
