The Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Issue and Policy Roundtable luncheon will be on site this month at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, 351 S. Patterson Ave., from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. next Wednesday, April 11.

The Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital Foundation kicked off its community fundraising campaign in support of rebuilding Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital with an announcement this month of a $1 million challenge grant from the Wood Claeyssens Foundation.

The new Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital will be a 152,000-square-foot, state-of the-art acute care community hospital and will offer medical excellence close to home for generations to come.

Officials and supporters broke ground at the new hospital in March 2010, and the building is expected to be complete late in 2014.

Come hear an update on the progress of the hospital construction and fundraising campaign and get a tour of what is soon to be the new facilities.
