Expanded Hospital Facility Faces Special Design Concerns
ST. GEORGE, Utah - Lying in the high desert area of southern Utah at the nexus of Utah, Arizona, and Nevada, the historic city of St. George is experiencing unprecedented growth as both retirees and young working families discover its many opportunities. In a short five-year period in the 1990s, the city's population grew a staggering 61 percent.
In this atmosphere of growth and prosperity, the Dixie Regional Medical Center saw a need to dramatically expand its services and space. At the end of 2003, the regional referral center will occupy its new 400,000-square-foot home, a hospital and medical office building that will introduce advanced trauma care and tertiary care services, such as open-heart surgery and neurosurgery.
