PHF Governing Board (PGB)
The Department of Behavioral Wellness operates the Santa Barbara County Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF), a 16-bed facility that provides 24-hour inpatient care to individuals requiring psychiatric hospitalization. It is a Lanterman-Petris-Short-designated facility and the only Acute Psychiatric Inpatient Hospital that accepts Medi-Cal within Santa Barbara County. The PHF is licensed both as a Psychiatric Health Facility by the California Department of Health Care Services and as an Acute Hospital by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The PHF is one of only two such free-standing psychiatric hospitals in the State of California, also known as "Super-PHFs," distinguished from other Psychiatric Health Facilities by their ability to receive Medicare reimbursement.
