Cancer Care at Astria Health
The Astria Sunnyside Hospital Cancer Center treats patients from across the state who see one of our two board-certified Hematologist/Oncologists, Dr. Mahakit Inklab and Dr. Amer Khouri. Our Cancer Care program has expanded dramatically over the past 12 months. As a result, there is an even greater need for support from the Wings of Love fund.

- Since adding Dr. Khouri at the end of October 2023, the number of patients treated for cancer has increased 36%.
- Chemotherapy infusions at the Cancer Center have increased 27%.
- Patients seeking cancer care from as far away as Ellensburg, Goldendale, and Oregon.
