Jubilee of Trees Festival

The advancement of women and newborn services at Dixie Regional Medical Center will be the focus of the 2016 Jubilee of Trees to be held November 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 mom and baby, including maternal fetal medicine and fertility to be in closer proximity, increasing efficiencies and coordination. The expanded NICU 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 talented volunteer leadership board that organizes the Jubilee of Trees is busy making every second count as they prepare this dazzling event. The main attraction is always the incredible designer trees. Also included with general admission are the Enchanted Forest display of smaller trees, mini-trees, holiday wreaths, and festive dining displays.
The Dixie Regional Guild offers 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 of course – Santa Claus!
The Bar J Wranglers Concert kick off the celebration on Wednesday evening. Tickets are available for all events including the Chamber of Commerce Luncheon, the Gala Dinner & Auction, the Teddy Bear Picnic, and the Fashion Show Luncheon. Outside of these special, ticketed events general admission includes the displays, shopping and continuous entertainment. Saturday evening at 6 p.m. general admission attendees will also enjoy Jubilee in Concert: A Night of Utah Stars at no extra charge. The concert features Lyndy Butler, Cherie Call and Eric Dodge for a night of lovely Christmas harmony.
This year anyone with a smartphone may pre-register on www.gesture.com by November 11 for the Jubilee and bid on silent auction items from their seats at the gala or from their own living room, 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.”
