Why I Give Wednesdays: Cottage has been here for my family

On Why I Give Wednesdays, our employees share why they choose to donate to Cottage Health. If you’d like to make a tax-deductible gift to Cottage Children’s Medical Center, click the donate button at the top of this page, or visit www.cottagechildrens.org/cmn.

“I am so happy to support Cottage Health. My husband and I have lived in Santa Barbara for 40 years, and I have been fortunate to work at the hospital for 38 of those years. All three of our children were born here, every member of our family has had surgery at Cottage and we have had only the best of care. It is right for us to give back a little for all that Cottage as offered to us as a health care system and to me as an employee for so many years.”
