Shriners Hospitals for Children® — Spokane will continue with all regularly scheduled surgeries and appointments during the winter conditions unless otherwise informed.

We will post decisions about hospital schedule changes to the following places for your convenience:

Our news/event hotline will be updated regularly with information regarding hospital conditions and/or closures. Call 509-744-1240 for regular updates.

We will post announcements on the homepage of our website with updates www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/spokane as we are able.
