ST. GEORGE, Utah - Situated 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. In a short five-year period in the 1990s, the city's population grew a staggering 61 percent.
As a result, the Dixie Regional Medical Center saw a need to dramatically expand its services and space. By the end of this year, the regional referral center is scheduled to occupy its new 400,000-square-foot home, a hospital and medical office building that will incorporate advanced trauma care and tertiary care services, such as open-heart surgery and neurosurgery.
