Public Invited to Help Advance Cancer Care at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital During the 2024 Jubilee of Trees, November 21–23, 2024

The last thing a mother of six wants to hear at a doctor’s appointment is that she has breast cancer. But when Amanda Roberts heard this news, she knew she was in good hands with the experts at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital, which is located near her home. 

“I can’t say enough good things about our cancer center here in St. George,” said Roberts, who underwent whole genome sequencing at diagnosis and recently completed her individualized breast cancer treatments. “Having this treatment here has been incredible and made my journey so much easier. I can’t imagine having to travel or getting better care than the care I received at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital.” 

In November, the community can help more patients like Amanda access expanded, advanced, and personalized cancer treatments at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital by participating in the forty-first annual Jubilee of Trees. 

Jubilee of Trees, hosted by the Intermountain Foundation, is open to the public from November 21–23, 2024, with a Gala Dinner and Auction on Friday, November 22, at the Dixie Convention Center in St. George, Utah.

Individuals and families are invited to join an open-house style holiday event celebrating the spirit of charitable giving. All proceeds benefit patients at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital.

“Having this treatment here has been incredible and made my journey so much easier. I can’t imagine having to travel or getting better care than the care I received at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital.” 

“We are committed to ensuring anything that can be done with cancer, from screening to treatment to support for survivors, can be done here with expertise and compassion to ease the strain on families,” said Derrick Haslem, MD, medical oncologist at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital. 

“Community philanthropy at the Jubilee of Trees has a huge impact on our work,” Dr. Haslem added. “We invite the community to participate in the Jubilee of Trees this year and rally around this cancer center, which has become emblematic of our community’s fight against cancer.” 

Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital serves Utah’s third-fastest-growing city. Now more than ever, cancer patients need access to its leading clinical experts, complex and unique cancer treatments, and survivorship care. 

“Participating in the Jubilee of Trees will support these advancements and bring new hope to the spectrum of cancer patients served at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital,” said Loriana De Crescenzo, executive director of the Intermountain Foundation.  

“Philanthropy is critical to the advancement of our expertise, to the patient experience in the way we deliver proactive care for people at risk for cancer, to providing multidisciplinary care for patients on the urology-oncology cancer journey and patients on the gynecology-oncology journey, and to meeting the needs of those in survivorship,” she added. “We urge our community to step forth in support and are grateful for their example and generosity."
