Visiting Policies

At Astria Health, we believe that visits from family and friends play a vital role in a patient’s recovery process and encourage visits from family and friends. We strongly encourage visits while loved ones are staying in the hospital. Visiting hours vary in each department, so we encourage you to check with admission or the main desk prior to visiting to make sure your visit occurs at the most appropriate time.

Main visiting hours:

• Astria Sunnyside Hospital | 8am–8pm
• Astria Toppenish Hospital | 8am–8pm

Policies

• You (or your support person) have the right, subject to your consent, to receive the visitors whom you designate. You also have the right to withdraw or deny consent at any time.
• Each facility shall not limit, restrict or deny visitation privileges.
• Each facility does have the right to restrict patient visitation when necessary for clinical or patient treatment reasons. The staff shall inform you (or your support person) of any clinically necessary restrictions or limitation on visitation rights as soon as they are identified.
• Each facility will ensure that all visitors designated by you (or support person) enjoy full and equal visitation privileges consistent with your preferences.
