Visitor Information

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
