Sudden shutdown: Secret court motion offers no clues about Astria Regional closure

During a Wednesday hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, attorney Andrew Sherman voiced concern about who wasn’t there.
Astria Health filed a motion to close Astria Regional Medical Center in Yakima under seal late last week, which meant the general public was not able to see the motion. The only people notified of the hearing in advance were attorneys involved in the case and government agencies who were told of the closure earlier in the week.
