A stomachache led five-year-old Miles and his family to Cottage Urgent Care, where the team quickly identified appendicitis and sent him straight to the Cottage ER. There they found exceptional medical care, comfort and compassion, and Miles made a fast recovery. Miles’ five-day stay in Pediatrics at Cottage was so positive, he keeps a memento box with his admissions bracelet, the teddy bear he received and his hospital gown.

From the Birth Center to the Mother Infant Unit, to Cottage Children’s Medical Center and Grotenhuis Pediatric Specialty Clinics, our staff is honored to offer care and compassion to children in all stages of their lives.

When Natalie was four, her joyful voice fell silent. She was taken to the hospital with pneumonia and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Her oxygen levels dropped dangerously low, and her left lung collapsed. Thanks to generous donor support, Cottage was ready. Our donor-supported pediatric ambulance brought her safely to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, providing critical care and comfort along the way. She was admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, where she was cared for by our team of experts who specialize in children’s emergencies. Natalie received the lifesaving, compassionate care she needed—just in time and close to home. Today, Natalie is doing well and thriving.

For Nina, life has always been full of movement. As a master gardener, devoted volunteer, and passionate philanthropist, she has spent her life cultivating beauty and connection. But one rainy morning, everything changed. While preparing for a visit from her granddaughter, Nina slipped and fell. Her knee shattered on impact, and she had to be rushed to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and underwent emergency surgery. At Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital (CRH), Nina found more than expert care. She found compassion, connection, and strength to move forward. From physical therapists to aides, every person helped her rebuild confidence—step by step.

Carlyle has spent most of his life under the wide-open skies of the Santa Ynez Valley—working the land, running his art business, and raising a family. But one quiet evening, everything changed in an instant. He was having a stroke. No warning. No time to waste. What saved him was fast, expert care—just minutes away at Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital. From there, he was transferred to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for specialized stroke care, followed by intensive therapy at Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital. Every day was a fight—to walk, speak, and reclaim the life he loved. Today, Carlyle is enjoying life, thanks to the care he received.

We are proud to share that Giuseppina (Jo) D’Ambrosio, Director of Hospitality & Environmental Services at Cottage Health, was honored last month by the Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC) as one of the 2025 My SoCal Hospital Heroes.

Jo has played an important role in strengthening operations across Cottage Health. One of her most transformational achievements is her leadership of the Cottage Family Suites program. She was instrumental in redesigning and expanding the program, guiding its transition into a fully donor-funded, 12-suite accommodation near Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. The suites provide a reliable landing place for those with loved ones in intensive and critical care units, giving them a steady, nearby space to stay close during difficult moments.

Please join us in congratulating Jo on this well-deserved recognition.
