The 2016 Jubilee of Trees will be held Nov. 17–21 at the Dixie Convention Center in St George. It will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays. Admission is $5 for adults and $1 for children ages 15 and under.
The advancement of women and newborn services at Dixie Regional Medical Center will be the focus of the 2016 Jubilee of Trees Nov. 17–21 at the Dixie Convention Center.
“We want every birth experience to be a safe, beautiful one,” said Amy Christensen, director of Women and Newborn Services at Dixie Regional Medical Center. “As we build the new tower that will house our services, the contributions that come through the Jubilee of Trees will make a significant difference.”
The new northwest tower is under construction on the River Road Campus and will allow all services for moms and babies, including maternal fetal medicine and fertility in closer proximity, increasing efficiencies and coordination. The expanded neonatal intensive care unit will consist of 20 rooms, four of which are larger to accommodate multiple births. Two “simply birth” rooms —which offer a more homelike, low-intervention, natural childbirth experience — will be a part of the labor and delivery unit, which will have a total of 14 rooms as well as two C-section operating rooms. The 28-bed maternity unit will include new technology and modern advancements for efficiency and comfort, including family-oriented amenities such as pull-out beds for overnight stays.
“The arrival of a new family member is one of the most touching moments of life,” said Glenna Beyer, chief development officer for Intermountain Healthcare’s Southwest Region. “We are thrilled to help raise funds that will help make that experience safe and memorable for families.”
The main attraction is the designer trees. Also included with general admission are the “enchanted forest” display of smaller trees, mini-trees, holiday wreaths, and festive dining displays.
On Nov. 16, the Bar J Wranglers will play at 7 p.m. Admission is $25. On Nov. 17, the St. George Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon will be held at noon. Admission is $15. On Nov. 18, the jubilee gala dinner and auction will be held at 6 p.m. Admission is $150. On Nov. 19, A teddy bear picnic will be held at noon. Admission is $15. On Nov. 21, a fashion show luncheon will be held at noon. Admission is $25.
The Dixie Regional Guild will offer handmade keepsakes, and the Sweet Shoppe will be stocked with traditional homemade treats and sparkling gingerbread creations. Food concessions will also be available. The Li’l Elf Workshoppe will offer crafts, activities, and Santa Claus.
Anyone may pre-register on gesture.com by Nov. 11 for the jubilee and bid on silent auction items via smartphone from their seats at the gala or from their own living rooms if they don’t attend the gala.
“The Jubilee is a wonderful tradition of community generosity that has been invaluable to our hospital’s progress,” said Terri Kane, vice president of Intermountain’s Southwest Region and CEO of Dixie Regional. “We are so appreciative of the incredible giving spirit of our friends and neighbors who have helped build our programs over the years.”
