Staff Report

Four doctors have been named Cottage Health System’s physicians of the year in recognition of exemplary performance.

The awards begin with nominations from staff members and are based on the most nominations in four areas: dedication to the profession and patients, respect and courtesy, collaborative practices, and efficient use of resources.

The 2017 honorees are:

  • Dr. Graham Hurvitz, orthopedic surgery, Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, appointed in 2002
  • Dr. Brian Mack, anesthesiology, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, appointed in 2003
  • Dr. Barry Reeve, emergency medicine, Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital, appointed in 2015
  • Dr. Brett Wilson, emergency medicine, Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, appointed in 2007

“These physicians have earned the admiration and nominations of Cottage staff through their commitment to providing excellence, integrity and compassion in the care of our patients,” said Dr. Ed Wroblewski, vice president of medical affairs and chief medical officer for Cottage Health. “We congratulate them for their outstanding work.”
