Join the dynamic team at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (SBCH), the region's undisputed leader in high-acuity care.

We've built specialized programs to support this critical work, including a revolutionary Vertical Care treatment area to enhance patient flow and a dedicated ED psych holding unit staffed by specially trained ED Psych RNs.
Our department is built on a foundation of excellence and teamwork, which is reflected in our 4-star CMS rating for Patient Satisfaction and recognition as a global leader in patient satisfaction by Newsweek.
