We’re still feeling the energy from Saturday’s She.Is.Beautiful 10k and 5k in Santa Barbara

Cottage Women’s Health was proud to be the official healthcare partner and celebrate women alongside our community.

More than 800 people stopped by the Cottage booth to learn more about women’s health, connect with our team and meet some of our women’s health providers. We loved hearing from so many people who were excited to learn more about the services and support available to women in our community.

We were especially proud to see nearly 200 Cottage employees sign up for the 5K and join our community in supporting and celebrating women’s health.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and helped make the day such a meaningful celebration.
