Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

It is the mission of Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital to provide superior health care for and improve the health care of our communities through a commitment to our core values of excellence, integrity, and compassion.

  • Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital is a 48-bed acute-care hospital located in the City of Goleta. In 2024 the Hospital had 2,952 patient days and served 68,082 outpatients, including emergency services to 24,885 patients. The Hospital provides a wide array of inpatient and outpatient services, including but not limited to cardiac, orthopedic, wound care, breast care and emergency services. Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital is diligent to ensure that all patients have adequate access to healthcare. All patients who do not present with insurance are automatically screened for eligibility in government health programs and are assisted in applying for financial assistance if the patient does not qualify for any other assistance. Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital provides critical funding for community health, financial assistance programs, and external grants, while also realizing shortfalls in Medicare, Medi-Cal, and indigent care. External grants were provided which aimed at specific community needs for at risk populations (indigent health; substance abuse recovery; elderly; family counseling). In addition, the hospital provides support of nursing education, health fairs, and the provision of flu shots to the community. In 2024 the hospital spent over $15.4 million on all community benefit programs.

    Expenses $91,374,352 · Grants $2,843,805 · Revenue $130,027,909

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation
On an annual basis the Executive Compensation Committee (ECC) of the Board of Directors meets to determine appropriate compensation for executives, including the CEO, COO, CFO, and vice presidents. All members of the ECC are independent members of the Board of Directors. The ECC engages an independent consultant to prepare comparative compensation reports for each position. The executives individual performance will also be considered when determining compensation. The ECC recommends compensation for the executives to the full Board for approval. This process takes place annually for all executives.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
COTTAGE HEALTH PROVIDES CERTAIN EXECUTIVES A SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM IS DEFINED AS DEFERRED COMPENSATION UNDER THE IRC SECTION 457(F). THE ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION IS 9.8% OF BASE YEARS SALARY WITH THE CONTRIBUTIONS VESTING FIVE YEARS FROM CREDITING DATE, OR AT AGE 62, OR IMMEDIATELY IN THE EVENT OF DEATH, DISABILITY, OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. THE UNVESTED ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE ASSETS OF THE ORGANIZATION AND ARE INCLUDED IN OTHER ASSETS AND THE ACCRUED EXPENSE IS INCLUDED IN ACCRUED EXPENSES IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS. THE AMOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO A SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF FORFEITURE. DEFERRED CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS PLAN WILL BE REPORTED AGAIN AS REPORTABLE COMPENSATION IN THE YEAR PAID. In the current tax year, RECIPIENT PAYOUTS FROM THE 457(F) PLAN WERE Lisa Moore ($48,865) and Arie DeJong ($48,238).
