Dr. Shawn Davis is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon in St. George. He opened his practice the Oral & Facial Surgery Institute in 2008. He grew up in Idaho and northern Utah, but has called St. George home for 14 years. He lives in St. George with his wife and their three children. In his spare time, Dr. Davis enjoys fitness, reading, camping, and spending time with his wife and children.
Dr. Shawn Davis started his education at Brigham Young University where he earned his Bachelor of Science. That same year he began his doctorate training at Temple University College of Dentistry in Philadelphia. While in dental school he was chosen to complete a concurrent Masters of Business Administration. Dr. Shawn Davis completed his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and was accepted into the University of Oklahoma’s prestigious program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. During his final year at the University of Oklahoma, Dr. Davis served as Chief Resident in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.
Dr. Davis maintains membership in multiple scholarly organizations including: American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, American College of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, American Dental Association, Utah Society of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, American Society of Dental Anesthesiologists. In addition, Dr. Davis is the team surgeon for facial trauma in the sports medicine department at Dixie State University.
Dr. Davis provides life-changing oral and facial surgery, including wisdom teeth removal, orthognathic surgery, dental implants, jaw surgery, TMJ treatment, facial reconstruction, and Teeth in a Day. Dr. Davis takes great pride in providing his patients with a healthier lifestyle, a beautiful smile, and transforming their lives. In 2018, he opened a new stateof-the-art facility in St. George to better serve patients in the area. Dr. Davis is honored to have been voted as “Best Medical Facility”, “Best Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon”, and “Best Doctor” in Southern Utah for four years in a row.
For people living with treatment-resistant depression and other mental health disorders, therapeutic IV infusions may hold the key to stabilizing mood imbalances, providing relief and hope at last.
Dr. Eric Evans established Desert Sands Ketamine Treatment Center to offer a lifeline for patients suffering from clinical depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and clinical anxiety, as well as chronic pain conditions. Many have already tried the pharmaceutical approach with little success. “Patients are finding us and getting help,” he said. “We’ve had a tremendous amount of success helping people with their depression, PTSD, anxiety and more.”
Evans has routinely administered ketamine in the operating room over the course of his 25-year career as a board-certified anesthesiologist. Administered in low doses via IV infusion, ketamine works to stabilize mood imbalances by boosting a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It targets the amygdala, a part of the brain that processes moods and emotions in the conscious mind.
Research demonstrates that ketamine is approximately 70% effective in treating depression, a significantly higher success rate than antidepressants and traditional talk therapy. Offering lasting results, a relatively safe side effect profile and few contraindications with other drugs, Evans said it’s nothing short of a “wonder drug” for treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders. Patients shouldn’t trust just any ketamine provider with their therapy, however. Desert Sands Ketamine is a physician-driven practice recognized as the Best of Southern Utah, winning gold in alternative therapies last year as well as silver in the behavioral/ mental health treatment category in both 2022 and 2021.
At Desert Sands Ketamine, Evans has created a spa-like, comfortable healing environment with compassionate staff who are dedicated to helping every patient achieve the best results possible. Every patient’s experience begins with a complimentary consultation to discuss their issues and determine if ketamine is right for them.
Following the consultation, patients undergo infusions twice a week for up to three weeks. The team will assess their progress after the
first four sessions. Patients typically remain in the maintenance phase after completing their initial course of treatment, Evans said. Most require an infusion only once a month or once every other month to sustain their improved mood.
Infusions typically last about 45 minutes, during which time patients enter a dreamlike state they often describe as relaxing and enjoyable. Because ketamine metabolizes quickly, the dissociative effects begin to fade as soon as the infusion stops. Evans said patients usually feel back to normal within 15-20 minutes.
Every session is supervised by a physician and conducted in a private space. After an infusion, the staff at Desert Sands Ketamine will have a discussion with each patient about the sensations they experienced and where their thoughts traveled.
“That’s a good time for us to get to know them better and see if there’s other tools we can add to their toolbox to help them deal with their depression, anxiety and other issues,” Evans said. The clinic provides patients with resources to improve all aspects of their well-being, including dietary guidance, meditation, massage therapy, relationship counseling and talk therapy. Recognizing that every individual has a unique story and set of issues that they’re dealing with, Evans strives to use a complete approach to each patient.
Southern Utah’s first responders bear witness to violence, death and other distressing experiences in the line of duty, which sometimes leads to burnout and feelings of depression and anxiety. Evans and his caring staff help restore a sense of calm and balance for patients like Dan, a 20-year law enforcement veteran who carried a burden of trauma into his retirement.
“Dr. Evans put me at ease, and I dove in,” he said. “My transition was very gradual, but I did notice a real difference in how I look at life. Dr. Evans goes above and beyond, and I consider him a friend.”
While ketamine has received much attention in recent years as a breakthrough treatment for mood disorders, Evans said the medical world is now discovering how beneficial it can be in treating chronic pain conditions, including migraines. Ketamine is a highly effective painkiller and a dissociative anesthetic. And because it’s administered via IV infusion, pain relief begins almost immediately.
“Ketamine has been nothing short of miraculous for a lot of people in our clinic,” he added. “With ketamine, people can wake up in the morning and joy is a possibility for them again.”
Patients find Desert Sands Ketamine in a variety of ways. Some are referred by a psychiatrist, therapist or family practice physician. However, a referral or ongoing relationship with a mental health professional isn’t necessary.
As a St. George native, Evans said that while he guides Desert Sands Ketamine with his decades of medical experience and expertise, his desire to help people in the community living with mood disorders truly comes from his heart.
“There is a huge need in Southern Utah. I just want to help as many people as I can.”
Desert Sands Ketamine is located at 346 E. 600 South in St. George. To schedule a free consultation, visit DesertSandsKetamine.com or call 435-522-5190.
WITH KETAMINE, PEOPLE CAN WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND JOY IS A POSSIBILITY FOR THEM AGAIN.

LAUNCH YOUR NEW CAREER WITH HANDS-ON LEARNING, INDUSTRY-DRIVEN PROGRAMS AT DIXIE TECHNICAL COLLEGE
As Southern Utah continues to experience unparalleled growth, the need for skilled workers across a multitude of industries has followed. At Dixie Technical College, students quickly gain the skills and credentials they need to go directly into the workforce. Dixie Tech provides hands-on training at a futuristic facility designed to optimize every aspect of the learning experience.
“All forms and levels of education are important for our economy to thrive, and technical education is vital,” interim president Jordan Rushton said. “These graduates are the essential workers in every community.”
The school’s unique approach to learning gives students the opportunity to competently enter their chosen career field with the confidence to succeed. Approximately 92% of graduates secure jobs in their field of study, most of which are within the St. George area.
Dixie Tech recognizes that certain people learn best from a textbook and others through hands-on engagement. The school’s programs offer the best of both worlds, combining experiential learning with an industry-driven curriculum to create career-ready graduates. Beyond a skilled trade, students gain renewed confidence in their ability to learn and achieve success in their field.
This real-world approach to technical education promotes inclusivity for people of various ages and backgrounds. While the majority of students are between 18 and 26 years old, all walks of life have benefited from enrolling at Dixie Tech, from parents ready to pursue a career after raising their kids to lifelong learners seeking to explore a different path.
“Technical education is a great way to kickstart a new career,’’ said Aubrey Gurney, digital marketing and communications specialist for Dixie Tech. “I’ve met with students who are just out of high school and know exactly what they want to do, as well as those returning to school to pursue their lifelong passion.”
One of eight fully accredited technical colleges in Utah, Dixie Tech is funded by state legislation and driven by occupational advisory committees consisting of local employers. These industry professionals review curriculum and teaching methods several times a year to ensure graduates are up to speed with the latest technology.
Dixie Tech programs are competency-based, meaning students
work and learn until they have mastered the skills to meet industry standards. The instructors are experts in their fields and are committed to the success of each student.
“We only offer programs that are relevant and in-demand,” Rushton said. “Our industry partners play a pivotal role in guiding the content and objectives of each program to ensure students are uniquely prepared to go right into the workforce and have successful careers.”
Dixie Tech programs are nationally accredited through the Council on Occupational Education and take anywhere from 6-18 months to complete. Through articulation agreements with Dixie State University, Utah Valley University and Utah State University, students can earn credit toward associate degrees in qualifying fields of study.
High school students also have the opportunity to experience technical education at Dixie Tech for greatly reduced tuition. Many of the programs are designed to accommodate their already busy schedules.
“There’s nothing that can set high school students up for success like graduating with a diploma and a set of skills that are in high demand,” Rushton said. “Whether going straight to work or continuing your higher education experience is the goal, Dixie Tech will have you poised for a successful future.”
Dixie Tech launched in 2001 with just a handful of enrollees across three programs. Today, the school serves nearly 1,200 students and courses run throughout the year. A total of 27 certifications, including health care, computer technology, construction, transportation, manufacturing and culinary, provide diverse opportunities for students to kickstart their careers.
The school stands high above the heart of St. George like a beacon of opportunity. Once home to an airport, the 30-acre campus on Tech Ridge has transformed into a launching pad for career aspirations to take flight. Dixie Tech empowers and educates the healers, the innovators, the builders, the makers and the doers of tomorrow.
Dixie Tech is located at 610 S. Tech Ridge Drive in St. George. To schedule a tour of the campus or find more information about available programs, call (435) 674-8400 or visit DixieTech.edu.

Summit Athletic Club, Southern Utah’s largest health and fitness center, stays on top of the latest trends. The club offers what’s up-and-coming in the exercise industry as well as the pillars of fitness that members know and love. Getting in shape while balancing your busy schedule has never been easier.
Fitness director Megan Dutson said people are far more likely to reach their goals when they enjoy working out. With a huge variety of machines and activities to choose from, the club gives members the freedom to find what keeps them motivated – whether it’s running, lifting weights or grooving at cardio dance classes – and make those healthy habits a lifestyle.
From a spin room and yoga studio to tanning and personal training, endless possibilities are all wrapped up into one monthly fee. More than 180 fitness classes are held every week between Summit’s three St. George locations: River Road, Bluff Street and Sunset Boulevard. Dutson said the club is always working to expand its offerings for the benefit of its 15,000-plus members with varied abilities and interests.
“Some people love to change up what they’re doing, and some people love keeping the exact same routine,” she added. “We’ve
spent a lot of time coming up with things we can put into these new spaces to create a better workout environment for our members.”
The main campus on River Road underwent some exciting upgrades earlier this year. The outdoor space has been completely renovated with a new lap pool and an enlarged turf area for fun family games like cornhole and giant Jenga, and the tennis and pickleball courts were also resurfaced.
Members will soon have even more options for staying active with the addition of a state-of-the-art facility on the west side of St. George. Summit’s fourth location, near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Tuweap Drive, is expected to open by the end of the year. The two-story, 35,000-square-foot complex will be loaded with new equipment, functional training rooms, child care, dance rooms, a pro shop, a smoothie bar, a recovery room and much more.
More than just a place to exercise, Summit strives to offer fitness solutions. Their certified trainers and instructors work with members to help them achieve a healthy lifestyle.
“We have great staff that make coming to the gym a great experience for everybody,” Dutson said. “We see people transform on both the fitness side and the health side.”
Best of Southern Utah voters have awarded Summit a gold ribbon in the gym category every year since the contest started in 2019. General manager Cally Peterson said they’ve earned those accolades by listening to their members and working every day to make the club a place where everyone feels welcome.
“We’re very grateful, and it means a lot to us,” she added. “We really do love our jobs.”
The club is all about creating relationships, Peterson said. Members become part of a vibrant extended family that keeps one another encouraged as they strive for a healthier lifestyle. In many cases, the staff has watched kids grow from toddlers giggling in the childcare playroom to high school athletes putting in long hours on the practice court. Summit is behind them every step of the way.
“The fitness industry is always changing and evolving,” she said. “We make it a priority to keep what members love while adapting to add what members need so they can keep hitting their personal health and fitness goals.”
The club has something for everyone from rambunctious youngsters to active seniors, and from the gym novice to the elite athlete. Whether members are looking to lose weight, train for a specific fitness goal or simply become more active and meet new people, they’ll find it at Summit.
Summit keeps improving to help its members keep moving. Join the movement at any of their three St. George locations, or learn more by calling (435) 628-5000 or visiting SummitAthleticClub.com.

When homeowners have a plumbing problem, especially an emergency, they need someone they can rely on to provide prompt service. Even more importantly, they need someone they can trust to offer all of the available options and then follow through with quality service.
A family-owned and -operated company, Putnam Plumbing has been serving the community of St. George and surrounding areas for more than 30 years. Known for a prompt response, with highly skilled technicians and a tradition of excellence, they’ve become the most trusted plumbers in Southern Utah.
“You can have quality work done with peace of mind,” co-owner Sonrisa Adams said. “It’s what you need for your home and your budget.”
Adams, who purchased Putnam Plumbing with her husband, Kelby, in 2016, said they have built a reputation for being the best number
to call anytime people need help with their plumbing. They only hire plumbers who are licensed by the state of Utah and have passed an extensive background check.
“If I can’t trust someone to go into my grandma’s home and have her feel comfortable and safe with them, I cannot hire them,” she said. “That’s just not something I’m willing to compromise on.”
Along with providing first-rate work, Adams hopes to change people’s perception of the plumbing industry, which is an essential service that directly impacts quality of life and one she believes is deserving of respect.
“Tell me one person who doesn’t use indoor plumbing over the course of their day,” she said.
With this in mind, they’ve introduced a “friends and family” maintenance plan for your complete plumbing system. This maintenance plan includes residential plumbing appliances such
as water softeners and tankless water heaters. A team member will visit your home routinely to check on the salt levels in the water softener or perform regular service critical to keeping the water heater running efficiently. Adams said that by automating routine maintenance, you can rest assured knowing that your plumbing is taken care of without having to add one more thing to your already hectic schedule.
“People are busy and have so many other things to focus on, like their family,” she added. “Let us worry about it for you.”
If something does go wrong, Putnam Plumbing understands that not everybody has the cash on hand that some repairs might cost, so they work with people and businesses that need to keep their monthly expenses down. If necessary, they have financing options available. They also offer discounts to senior citizens and veterans. Living in the desert, saving water is always on people’s minds, and Adams said there are some amazing technologies on the market that will monitor a home’s overall water health. The FLO Smart Water Shutoff by Moen uses an app to monitor water usage throughout the home and will detect anything from how much water is spent during a shower to a dripping faucet and help to scale back waste, thereby saving customers a lot of money.
If a pipe bursts, it will automatically shut off the water main to avert disaster. Southern Utah still has many homes using outdated gray polybutylene pipe, and when one bursts, the cost of repairs can be crippling.
“Automatic shutoff devices are a great option for people hoping to protect their homes until a full repiping of their plumbing system can be done,” Adams said.
It’s not just about emergency service, however. Whether you’re just starting construction on your dream home, tackling a longoverdue bathroom remodel or changing out fixtures at an apartment complex, the team at Putnam Plumbing can tackle any size problem and find the best solution to protect your investment.
Putnam Plumbing always offers a genuine free estimate for their services. Team members will come out, explain all options, and everything will be decided and agreed upon before a plumber even picks up a tool.
“That’s what we try to do,” Adams explained. “We try to communicate with our customers, and when we say we’re going to do something, we’re going to do our best to do it.”
Adams said the entire Putnam Plumbing family is honored to be recognized for the fourth year in a row in the Best of Southern Utah contest. They plan to continue focusing on great customer service and supporting the community for years to come.
“We’re not going anywhere,” she added. “We’re committed to growing and being better every day.”
Putnam Plumbing is located at 3292 E. Deseret Drive, Suite B3, in St. George. They’re open for service by calling (435) 674-2924. For more information, visit PutnamPlumbingSouthernUtah.com.

VOTED BEST PLACE TO BUY A UNIQUE GIFT OF SOUTHERN UTAH
VOTED BEST ROCK SHOP OF SOUTHERN UTAH
PAGE 254
PAGE 262
VOTED BEST GOLD STORE OF SOUTHERN UTAH PAGE 263
Gold Ore Store is an amazing store with a great beginning most people aren’t aware of. The concept of Gold Ore Store began in an attic space, selling mining ore from family-owned mines on eBay, and ended up on Main Street, USA.
The store wasn’t actually a store at all when it was first envisioned by Greg Neel in 2011. Neel and his daughter, Nicole, were selling mining ore on eBay from one of six abandoned gold and silver mines the family had purchased online from a broker. The family had tremendous interest in crystals, rocks and fossils as well as coins and bullion. They began the venture at a gem show, where they didn’t even have the funds to purchase booth space and actually borrowed the $700 fee from the sister of a good friend.
“We had never met her before, but she was adamant about lending the money to us to do this,” Neel said. “The event was a smash hit! We sold everything we had brought with us.”
That included 100 US silver eagle coins and various other silver and gold bullion rounds and bars as well as crystals, rocks and other mineral specimens, plus antiques, collectibles, knives, swords and other cool and extremely unique gift items. Thus began the journey, initially a part-time experience traveling to gem and gun shows in various states as well as some antiques and collectibles shows.
During the beginning, the Neels ran a disaster restoration company in the Salt Lake Valley. Neel, his wife, Melodie, and the entire family were a general contractor firm restoring homes from fire, flood, wind and mold damage. The business was profitable; however, it was incredibly stress-inducing and decisions were made to let the business go, move to St. George and open Gold Ore Store in its present location in the heart of historic downtown.
The early years were tough. The family worked hard to make the lease payment every month in a historic district that was just beginning a renaissance but still resembled a small Detroit, working to come out of a difficult period where the masses had forgotten about their once-vibrant downtown. In fact, Neel and his daughter actually slept on the floor of the store for weeks in the early days as they didn’t even have a place to live yet.
Neel’s wife, a licensed massage therapist, was still up in the Salt Lake region working in the high-end hotel industry to keep a flow of income while they began the venture in St. George. The Neels had to learn the entire retail business model while struggling to make ends meet each and every month.
Gold Ore Store is now a top choice for bullion buyers. Bullion is gold and silver,
mostly in the form of coins and bars which have specific weight attached to them. Usually, 1 troy ounce is the most in-demand and cost-effective way to purchase this type of precious metals product.
Winning the gold award for the third year in a row as Southern Utah’s best gold store along with gold in two other categories –rock shop and unique gift shop – is a thrill for the Neel family.
“We’re so excited to have won gold in three separate categories this year,” Neel said. “Thank you to all the thousands of voters for a tremendous three-peat, in two different ways!”
Gold Ore Store is located at 7 N. Main St. in downtown St. George. For more information, call (435) 703-9119 or visit GoldOreStore.com.

From a family-owned restaurant to a 100% employee-owned company, salad dressing giant Litehouse Inc., with one of its key manufacturing plants in Hurricane, has maintained a trajectory of steady growth.
Kelly Prior, president and CEO of Litehouse, said the company is honored to win gold for Best Place to Work in Southern Utah and strives to be a leading workplace, offering comprehensive benefits and competitive wages to all employee-owners.
“We believe a positive attitude and a strong work ethic can take you a long way in our organization,” he added. “We look for individuals who share our commitment to excellence, have a strong sense of accountability and want to work as part of a greater team to build something bigger than any one of us could build on our own.”
In 1949, Ed Hawkins Sr. was working as a chef at a restaurant
in Spokane, Washington, and prayed about a solution to the poor quality of the salad dressings they served. The answer to his prayer was a blend of mayonnaise, spices, crumbled blue cheese and buttermilk. To his knowledge, his original recipe was the first creamy blue cheese dressing. Hawkins started serving the dressing in his restaurant, and it became so popular that customers were taking jars of it home. Seeing how much people loved it, his sons, Doug and Ed Jr., were inspired to start selling the product to local retailers. After local success, the Hawkins family started gaining national distribution and grew the company with new product offerings.
As the company kept growing, Litehouse searched for other locations to manufacture its popular products. Litehouse opened the doors of its Southern Utah plant in 2011 and cut the ribbon on a significant expansion in 2018, adding 175,000 square feet of production space and 165 new jobs.
Over the coming years, Litehouse has continued to expand its lineup of innovative products to include a variety of brands and product lines that can be found across many different departments of the grocery store – from veggie-forward pasta and freeze-dried herbs to global sauces, plant-based dressings and more. Today, Litehouse’s award-winning products are available across North America through general retailers, e-commerce, foodservice, delis and club stores. The company operates under the brands Litehouse, Sky Valley, Organicville, Green Garden and Veggiecraft Farms.
Perhaps Litehouse’s biggest impact on the Southern Utah community is its employee ownership structure. Litehouse transferred 30% of the company’s holding to its workers in 2006. By 2014, it had become a 100% employee-owned venture.
All full-time employees and many part-time employees have a direct path to ownership of the company at no cost to them. Each year, Litehouse’s stock shares are distributed to the people that help operate the business every day. As a result of these contributions, employee-owners have created sizable retirement accounts that will be of great benefit for their future.
“When we look at the accounts of our employee-owners that have been here since the start of the employee stock ownership plan in 2006, all of them now have six-figure account balances,” Prior said. “The ESOP benefit is truly a gift from our founders that will provide so many with a retirement fund that they could not have saved on their own.”
Together, employee-owners share the hard work and rewards of building their company. Litehouse empowers all members of its organization to spark the innovations and great new ideas that will propel them into the future.
The employee ownership structure also creates a local economic engine. As Litehouse pays out balances to workers that have left the organization after earning ownership benefits, those dollars often stay in the community. Because Litehouse is owned by people with deep roots in the places they live and work, retired employeeowners are more likely to spend their benefits at Southern Utah restaurants, shops and more.
The company offers competitive pay, generous benefits, professional development, technical training and career advancement opportunities, along with multiple shift options to help accommodate a variety of schedules. Litehouse employs more than 1,200 people nationwide and operates plants in Utah, Idaho, Michigan and Virginia.
Litehouse exists to serve – to improve life one community, one table and one bite at a time. They strive to deliver a memorable eating experience, positively impact the communities they serve and provide employee-owners with opportunities to succeed. They are proud to contribute to the growth of Southern Utah and improve the lives of everyone who lives here.
Litehouse is located at 239 N. Old Highway 91 in Hurricane. Find current job opportunities and learn more about becoming an employee-owner at LitehouseFoods.com/careers.

Dixie Power is more than just an electric utility company. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide our members with the safest, most reliable and most affordable power in the area, and we give back to the communities that we serve.
A MEMBER-OWNED UTILITY
Dixie Power is an electric cooperative, which means that our members own us. We’re also a not-for-profit organization that returns any excess money collected after all expenses are paid. Over the last four years, we’ve refunded over $5.3 million to our members.
“The cooperative business model ensures our success,” said LaDel
Laub, President and CEO of Dixie Power. “It gives us the drive to cater to our members and focus on what’s best for them. There’s nothing else quite like it!”
Dixie Power has the best rates in town, but that’s not the end of the story. One of the seven cooperative principles we live by is “Concern for the Community.” We look for opportunities to give back to the communities we serve.
“When it comes to our community events, we look at where we can make the biggest impact with the resources we have,” said Steven Young, Communications Specialist for Dixie Power. “You will see evidence of this in the Kite Festival, the Blood Drive and even our Operation Round-Up program.”
Each year we hold the Dixie Power Kite Festival, which aims to promote literacy in Washington County. It takes a significant amount of work to put on a festival of this size. Our employees volunteer their time to make this event a success.
We bring the community together by inviting over 80 vendors to participate. We also seek out cash and in-kind sponsorships to help make the event possible. Each year, we collect enough money from our vendors and sponsors to make a sizable donation to the Washington County School District Foundation. Since its inception, we’ve donated over $750,000 cash toward literacy through the Festival.
On April 2, approximately 30,000 attendees flocked to the Dixie State University Encampment Mall to participate in this year’s festivities. The Festival is a great community event with live entertainment, bounce houses, funnel cakes and corn dogs.
“The best part about the Festival is the work these kids put into reading and filling out their charts!” Festival Manager, Rachel Ludlow said. “We estimate that children will read for over 3,000,000 minutes leading up to the Festival. I don’t know of another program that’s doing this much good for the children in our communities.”
Another annual event that we look forward to is the Dixie Power Blood Drive.
“The American Red Cross approached us three years ago with the request to become Southern Utah’s largest blood drive,” Young said. “We accepted that challenge, and we are happy to report that we’ve successfully grown the drive each year.”
In 2021, Dixie Direct and FiiZ Drinks partnered with us to give each donor a free Dixie Direct Savings Guide and a $5 FiiZ Drinks gift card. We were able to collect 170 units of blood. These donations will directly affect Southern Utah and have the potential to save 510 lives.
With our Operation Round-Up program, we invite our 24,500 members to voluntarily round up their power bills up to the next whole dollar amount. The average monthly donation is just 50 cents, with an average yearly donation of $6. It may sound small, but we’ve seen tremendous success using the funds from this program to donate to local charities.
If all our members participated in Operation Round-Up, we would have approximately $147,000 to donate annually. Since we started the program, Dixie Power has donated over $340,000 to charities like the Dove Center, the Utah Food Bank, Tan’s Treats and more. Small change can change lives!
Because we’re member-owned, we love to receive your feedback. When you talk, we do listen.
Each year, Dixie Power holds annual meetings to update members on the state of the cooperative and give you essential information about the electrical industry. We seek to do our best to provide you with the safest, most reliable and most affordable electricity. Part of our success in doing this is getting member feedback. You can provide feedback at these annual meetings or at DixiePower.com.
We love to give back to our communities, from the Kite Festival to the Blood Drive to our Operation Round-Up program. You own us, and we’re proud to serve you!

Visionary Homes is Utah’s local homebuilder. With a commitment to premium craftsmanship and thoughtful design, they build houses and communities that buyers are proud to call home.
Visionary Homes is now building and selling in developments throughout the St. George area, each designed for a different type of homebuyer. Unlike generic master-planned communities where developers pinch every penny, their neighborhoods are focused on lifestyle. From vacation condos to forever homes, they do it all.
“Our neighborhoods offer the lifestyle and function that Utah families really want,” said Jonathan Williams, vice president of marketing and new development. “They’re great places to live and will be for years and years to come.”
A lot of planning goes into building a great community, Williams said. Visionary Homes works hand-in-hand with homebuyers, local cities and counties, trade partners and affiliates like their preferred lender, First Colony Mortgage, to build customers the homes they want so they can live the way they want to live.
“We feel absolutely blessed that we have the opportunity to build people’s dream homes.”
Logan-based builders Jeff Jackson and Justin Cooper merged their companies to create Visionary Homes in 2004. Today, it’s the fourth-largest home builder in Utah with developments throughout the state. They have 170 employees statewide, about 45% of which are women, along with over 2,000 trade partners.
Visionary Homes is owned and operated entirely by people who live and work in the Beehive State. As a Utah-based company, they’re connected with the communities they serve.
“We’re very proud to be what we feel is a local builder,” Williams said. “There are a lot of national builders that have moved into Utah that really don’t understand the people who live here and what they want in a lifestyle. We know the value that Utah families are looking for.”
Expanding into the St. George area was a natural fit for the company, Williams said, adding that it’s one of the fastest-growing
places in Utah for good reason. The weather, the culture and the recreational opportunities make it a great place to live. The Visionary Homes team also enjoys building the diverse architectural styles popular among local buyers, from desert modern to farmhouse to Spanish mission.
Visionary Homes are built to last a lifetime. Especially in Southern Utah’s unforgiving desert climate, they prioritize using high-quality materials that will stand the test of time. The company won both a SUHBA Safety Award and a NAHB/Builders Mutual Safety Award for Excellence in 2021, and Best of Southern Utah voters awarded them a gold ribbon in the home builder category again this year.
“We go above and beyond to take care of our customers,” Williams said. “We are committed to making our homes as perfect as possible and making every homebuyer feel like family.”
Offering a wide range of prices and styles, Visionary Homes is currently building in four distinct Southern Utah communities. Enjoy resort-style living at Desert Color, where you can choose from condos, townhomes or single-family homes. Get closer to nature in Divario, nestled among miles of trails near Green Valley. Family-friendly amenities abound in Warner Gateway just off the Southern Parkway, while the Azalea Townhomes in Ivins provide gorgeous red rock views at accessible price points.
Williams said they have more projects in the pipeline and look forward to what the future holds as they continue growing along with the area.
“We can’t stress enough how much we love St. George,” he added. “There’s a lot of pride for us to be able to build down here and serve the community.”
Visionary Homes offers buyers a “white-glove concierge service” from the first appointment until the day their home is move-in ready. Their attentive sales, building and design teams focus on the individual desires and needs of every homeowner.
From faucets to light bulbs, the design team helps buyers create interior spaces that reflect their unique personalities and lifestyles. Visionary Homes operates an award-winning design studio for the Southern Utah market with hundreds of samples to consider, including flooring, cabinets, countertops and fixtures, plus full-size interior vignettes that customers can walk through. This allows buyers to get a feel for their kitchen and bathroom layouts, then see what their selections will look like in those spaces.
Williams hopes people will visit a Visionary Homes neighborhood and experience the difference for themselves. From the layout of streets and placement of lots to the floor plans and materials used, everything reflects the thoughtful design process that has made them a trusted home builder for thousands of Utahns. Houses are merely built with brick and mortar – it’s the memories and moments that happen within their walls that make them worth living in.
“We know that home is the most important place for a person and their family,” Williams said. “We want people’s homes to be gorgeous and something that you’re proud of going home to. That’s not just a sales pitch – we truly believe in it from a philosophical level.”
The Visionary Homes design studio is located at 1506 S. Silicon Way, Suite 2D, in St. George. Stop by or call (435) 222-2441 to schedule a tour, and learn more at VisionaryHomes.com.

When people decide to make a change and take on a remodeling project in their homes, the first thing they need is a plan. The second is advice from an experienced professional who cares about doing the job right.
Since 1974, Ogden’s Flooring & Design – locally owned and family-operated in St. George for 22 years – has been providing Utahns with the best possible customer service and expertise, as evidenced by the fact that the business was voted Best Interior Design Firm and Best Carpet and Flooring Store in Southern Utah for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
“We’re able to help with anything from the paint color to the end,” co-owner Jill Gines said.
At Ogden’s Flooring & Design, they carry blinds, furniture, tile, hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl planking and more, and they work on a little bit of everything in the home – from flooring to cabinets
to the finished countertops. Gines said flooring makes up the backbone of their business, but they can help design projects from as small as a bathroom remodel to a whole house renovation.
There are a variety of reasons for homeowners to remodel their homes. Some may just want to make a change and update a decades-old style, while others could be tackling a long-overdue repair. In every case, a quality upgrade to the home will increase its value and give the homeowner enjoyment for years to come.
Seeing as kitchens are often the heart of the home and arguably the most important room for a family, investing in a remodel in this portion of the house is the best way to increase a home’s value. It’s more than just a fresh coat of paint. New cabinets, flooring and granite countertops can take a room to the next level. Add in the Ogden’s Flooring & Design lifetime labor warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties, and this is a project that’s guaranteed to increase your investment.
Gines said she believes their individual service and hands-on experience is what makes them truly unique, adding that their service is more personalized than anywhere in town. From beginning to end, the same salesperson follows the project to its completion. They’re passionate about making homeowners’ dreams come true, and the person that customers meet in the showroom will be the one to come out to measure, handle all scheduling and stay on top of the ball until everything is finished. There really is no place like home, and for Gines, the most rewarding part is running a project from start to finish and seeing the overall effect a change can have on homeowners. She said that feeling is what makes her happiest at the end of a long workday.
Ogden’s Flooring & Design would like to thank their loyal clients that have supported them throughout the years. They invite new customers to come experience the difference that a hometown feel with unparalleled customer service makes.
“It’s what we do,” Gines said, “and we do it well.”
Ogden’s Flooring & Design has 13 locations throughout Utah. Their St. George showroom, located at 2842 E. 850 North, is open Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Thank you, Utah homebuyers, for making us the No. 1 reverse lender and/or individual originator in the state for several years running.
And wow, what a difference a year makes. This time last year, we were working through COVID-19 and interest rates remained at all-time lows. Now, amid inflationary times, we’re witnessing home prices shooting to all-time highs as well as interest rates on 30-year fixed mortgages peaking above 5%. We’ve seen 30-year fixed rates jump from 3% to 5% within 90 days.
That extreme increase in such a short time is unheard of and will have an impact on many of us, especially seniors. So, let’s address the following as briefly as we can.
• What can we expect in 2022 from the real estate and interest rate markets with prices of homes shooting higher and rates jumping to post-pandemic highs? How high are they going to go?
• What are the financing options across the board for a home?
• As a senior, if you’re not buying a home, how can you benefit from the current market?
We know that home prices are approaching or have exceeded past highs in Southern Utah, even matching the pre-2008 downturn. We also know that the demand to move here is peaking, and the number of homes for sale is limited, to say the least. Builders are out months in completion, and there’s just not much inventory to keep up with the number of buyers.
On top of that, interest rates are now approaching those in 2008, prior to the housing bubble. The average 30-year fixed in 2008 was 6%. Today, it’s around 5%. The good news is that the affordability of homes is much better than in 2008 with the level of interest rates being at these lows.
Also good news is that the demand for housing doesn’t look like it can match capacity in over a year. It may take more than 18 months, as planned, to just keep up with the average demand for homes in this area. So, if rates move to 5.5% on a fixed mortgage, it most likely won’t slow down the purchases and prices of these homes. But it will slow down buyers who are financially on tight qualifying ratios. With the current demand and forecast for the continual demand, we may not see prices come down for some time.
There are multiple options for financing, from zero-down Utah housing and/or rural housing programs to senior options with reverse purchases. Many seniors are putting less down on their
homes and using their cash and reserves to make payments, therefore holding their savings versus putting them into the home. More popular today in senior communities, about 50% of our clients are purchasing a home with the HECM for purchase loan because of high prices and the ability to manage payments. Depending on your age, you’re roughly putting half the purchase price of the home down; even less if you’re older than 62. You have no mortgage payments required aside from taxes and insurance, but if you choose to make them or make interest-only payments, you have the flexibility to do so. This option provides a tremendous amount of leverage when looking at home prices today versus even a year ago, and allows you to buy a home for cash.
The interest rate is also currently the same APR as the average 30-year fixed rate, so it tends to track the 30-year fixed mortgage. This loan allows you to choose to make a payment on the home monthly or periodically – or never again during your retirement if you choose.
Refinance your mortgage today and fix your rate by consolidating all debt sooner rather than later. But, watch your closing fees. Use a lender that has minimal fees or a flat fee for their conventional and other loans.
Realize that mortgages usually have the lowest interest rate of all loans because the loan is the most secured. All commercial debt can be consolidated with these higher home values, allowing you to pay down and pay off debt in half the time if used correctly. For example, you certainly don’t want to finance a credit card bill for 30 years. But you’re only lowering your interest carry so the same payment can pay off that credit card as soon as possible or in a fraction of the normal time.
If you’re over 62 and still making mortgage payments, look at reverse options that allow you to refinance and pay off your home without future payments unless you choose not to make any. Remember, with the high home values today, many seniors that have a mortgage into retirement are paying off their home with a reverse loan because of the recent equity they have gained.
Lock in all loans that are variable-rate into fixed percentages. With rates moving, it’s not the best time to be in a variable program. If you have a home equity loan, try to consolidate that into your first mortgage and fix the rate before any additional rises. Also very important is to refinance your reverse mortgage at record lows in order to decrease the interest carry on your loan. This will impact how much equity is there for your estate when you pass away.

VOTED BEST ESTATE LAW OF SOUTHERN UTAH

Gallian Welker & Associates effectively and affordably provides legal services in a wide variety of practice areas and geographic locations, utilizing its elite team of skilled and diverse lawyers.
The firm opened in St. George 43 years ago and now has offices in three states: Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. Two of the founding partners have since been appointed as district court judges for the state of Utah, which demonstrates the high standards of ethics and skill that the firm expects from its attorneys.
Gallian Welker is a full-service law firm providing representation in many areas of the law. The firm’s dedicated, talented attorneys and paralegals each focus on specific realms of the law, allowing them to provide top-notch service for clients with complex legal needs.
The firm’s personal injury and veterans’ advocate attorneys have collectively recovered tens of millions of dollars for their clients over the past decade, while other practice areas have stayed strong and grown along with the desert Southwest. Gallian Welker has helped clients protect their property and avoid probate with comprehensive estate planning services. In addition, they have attorneys with decades of experience practicing business law, real estate and land use/zoning law, divorce and family law and wage and employment law as well as DUI and criminal defense.
The firm’s success has been founded upon a commitment to personal, caring service; dedicated, hard work; and careful planning and strategizing. The team is always innovating, thinking outside the box and integrating technology to more effectively serve clients. One out-of-the-box idea was the elimination of bills for paralegal and staff time.
Traditionally, law firms bill clients not only for their lawyer’s time but also for the time spent on a case by paralegals and secretaries. But last year, when the partners at Gallian Welker were brainstorming ways to make legal services more affordable and easier for clients to understand, they decided that their utilization of technological advancements already making their work more efficient could allow them to eliminate staff and paralegal billings to the mutual benefit of clients and the firm.
“Not only would it keep costs down for clients, but we would keep our own costs down by not spending uncompensated staff and attorney time on inputting, reviewing and auditing over a thousand billing entries by staff members each month,” senior partner Mike Welker said. “Eliminating non-attorney billings has allowed us to fully focus on what matters, and that’s making clients happy and winning cases.”
Gallian Welker has always been committed to finding ways to represent underserved segments of the population. For instance, 10 to 15 years ago, the firm was committing time and money to the civic support of America’s veterans and active military personnel. While volunteering their services, the attorneys became aware of the serious need among military veterans for legal help in their battle for service-related disability benefits.
“Legal work for veterans has been lacking because, comparatively speaking, it doesn’t pay as well,” partner Travis Barrick said. “But we made a commitment over 12 years ago to formulate an efficient, technology-driven system that would allow us to help veterans with their disability appeal claims without going broke trying.”
Over the years, Gallian Welker has built a well-oiled machine that has allowed them to become one of the biggest veterans disability law firms in the Southwest, changing the lives and outlooks of hundreds upon hundreds of men and women who have served in the armed forces. The firm actively represents veterans in many cities across Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and elsewhere.
Gallian Welker cares about the people and the communities its attorneys and staff members serve. They are committed to providing the best results for their clients, and their experience makes a difference.
Gallian Welker is located at 965 E. 700 South, Suite 305, in St. George. Visit StGeorgeLawOffice.com to learn more or call (435) 628-1682 for a case consultation.
Consultations for personal injury, medical malpractice and veteran disability clients are free. Other initial consultations are offered at discounted rates.
ELIMINATING NON-ATTORNEY BILLINGS HAS ALLOWED US TO FULLY FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS, AND THAT’S MAKING CLIENTS HAPPY AND WINNING CASES.

Forget complicated diet plans and say goodbye to tedious miles on the treadmill. With the state-of-the-art technology offered at Belle Medical, everyone can shed inches naturally and eliminate stubborn fat areas once and for all.
Belle Medical can help end weight-loss woes when nothing else has worked, banishing pockets of fat that have bothered clients their entire lives without the need for surgery.
“We guarantee a minimum loss of 2-5 inches after just one visit,” chief marketing officer McKay Taylor said. “The beauty in Belle is, by the time you walk out after one treatment, that fat is gone permanently; it’s not coming back.”
Taylor added that they’ve seen people lose as much as 28 inches after just one visit. Collectively, Belle Medical clients have shed more than 100,000 inches of fat and counting over the past six years. Almost 20,000 of those inches were lost by customers at the St. George clinic.
“Many people don’t want anyone to know they’ve had any sort of procedure done,” Taylor said. “The truth is that everyone has a ‘trouble area,’ and there’s no shame in wanting to get that taken care of.”
Anyone at Belle Medical would be happy to tell you that their cutting-edge procedures are the most effective way to remove stubborn fat and create the body shape you’ve always wanted. But with satisfied clients sharing their experiences at MyBelleStory.com, you don’t need to take their word for it.
Despite being an avid runner and triathlete, Brent Rowe couldn’t get rid of the “spare tire” around his waist. After consulting with Belle Medical, he realized the cause was hormonal rather than habitual. A lot of men have the same problem, and exercise alone isn’t always the solution.
“For anyone who has those stubborn areas, just understand that it’s not your fault,” he said. “Belle Medical is here to take care of that hormonal fat.”
Another client, Alisa Huser, noticed immediate changes after having the procedure on her hips and upper and lower stomach. She’s now more active than ever and much happier with her shape.
“Just losing that extra weight enabled me to start to run, and I upped my yoga game,” she said. “It’s been really wonderful; it’s changed my life.”
‘IT’S CHANGED MY
Belle Medical specializes in natural-looking results. Using ultrasound technology to liquefy fat and a gentle suction process to remove it, they break down and permanently eliminate fat cells in common problem areas.
Of these problem areas, “love handles” and the abdominal region are the most frequently treated for men; women usually choose their thighs, hips, buttocks, chin, abdomen, arms and dreaded “bra fat.” Since Belle Medical is able to remove fat through a process that doesn’t damage or destroy the cells, they can use that same fat for areas clients want enhanced, such as all-natural breast augmentations and Brazilian butt lifts for women or restoring volume in the calves and buttocks in men.
“More and more men are doing the procedure now. Many don’t want to admit it because they’re too macho,” Taylor joked, “but in many of our locations almost 40% of our clients are men!”
Belle Medical can sculpt anyone’s body into the shape they want. If a woman desires a more curvy physique, consider it done. An hourglass figure? They do that too. Men can choose to sculpt the abdominal wall and walk out the door with a more contoured waistline and better definition for those “six-pack abs.”
Belle Medical’s high-definition body sculpting treatments are nonsurgical and minimally invasive. Clients remain comfortably awake throughout the entire process, and most return to their normal routine within 24-48 hours.
More than a typical med spa, Belle Medical partners with clients to achieve wellness both inside and out. The company recently underwent an acquisition and is growing rapidly throughout the Intermountain West. Taylor said clients can look forward to new additional services in 2023, including hormone replacement therapy to help people with hormonal imbalances look and feel better.
“Hormones play a vital role in not only body aesthetic, but also overall metabolism and well-being,” he added. “Pairing hormone therapy in tandem with a Belle Medical procedure will only further accelerate the transformative results we’re able to give our patients.”
Belle Medical also plans to offer prescription weight loss, diet plans that are clinically designed to suit each client based on the results of blood testing.
“We have some very exciting breakthrough services we have been testing, and we’ll be able to roll them out to all of our clinics soon,” Taylor said.
Belle Medical takes pride in rolling out the red carpet for customers. When clients come in for their free consultation, they’ll meet with a treatment coordinator in a warm, comfortable environment to discuss the areas they’re seeking to improve.
Everyone has a different ideal body shape. Some people want everything to be flat, while others like a bit of extra curve. The treatment provider will create a plan based on the look the client wants and exactly how they hope it will be sculpted. In almost no
time, Belle Medical can change people’s lives for the better. Taylor said the staff at Belle Medical’s St. George clinic is honored to be recognized as the Best of Southern Utah for the fourth consecutive year. But the most rewarding part of the work they do is watching clients view themselves in a whole new light thanks to their dramatic results.
“The Belle Medical experience is all about creating the best version of yourself,” he added. “We want people to feel confident with who they are.”

At Save Dental, you’re never just another number or name on a chart. Regardless of how long it’s been since your last visit or what your dental issues may be, the friendly team promises to put a smile on every patient’s face.
“It’s more than dentistry,” owner Dr. Aaron Salmon said. “As soon as they walk in the door, they’re treated like family.”
Save Dental offers general dentistry for patients of all ages regardless of insurance status. The office also works closely with oral surgeons, orthodontists and other dental specialists in the area to provide comprehensive care options.
As a locally owned and operated dental practice, Save Dental strives to accommodate patients’ busy lives.
Salmon joined Save Dental in 2015 and has since purchased the office. His younger brother, Dr. Nate Salmon, came on board two years ago. As the oldest and youngest siblings in their family, working together is the first chance they’ve had to see each other every day.
“It’s awesome to work with my brother,” Salmon said. “He’s my dentist, and I’m his dentist.”
The brothers are originally from Canada and obtained their undergraduate degrees at Brigham Young University. Love of family brought them to St. George, and a love for the community has kept them here.
Salmon said the team at Save Dental has become an extended family for him and his brother, adding that everyone works seamlessly as a unit. The mood in the office is fun, friendly and respectful.
The team also enjoys spending time together outside of work. They gather for dinners, barbecues and have also played in a local kickball league. Salmon said they even plan trips with each other’s families. “We spend all week together, but when people get a chance to go on vacation, they still want to hang out!”
Patients truly feel that camaraderie, and they also become part of the Save Dental family over time. As the team guides patients through dental issues, they have watched kids growing up and adults navigating life changes both good and bad.
“When we see them regularly, it becomes a close relationship, it’s nice to check in and see how they’re doing,” Salmon said.
Before patients ever see their dentist, they’ll meet several members of the Save Dental team who help set their mind at ease. They strive to make sure patients
understand every step of their treatment process and to let them know how much everyone in the office cares.
Salmon said he’s grateful to the people of St. George for welcoming Save Dental with open arms and helping grow the practice. Most new patients are referred by friends and relatives who were pleased with their past experiences.
And again, the community has spoken. Best of Southern Utah voters recently awarded Save Dental a gold medal for best dentist for the second consecutive year.
“It means a lot because this is the voice of the people,” Salmon said. “We love our patients, and we love that they love us.”
Salmon’s goal is to make Save Dental a place people actually want to visit – a tall order for any dentist. His team promises to go above and beyond to make sure every patient has a great experience and leaves feeling like a member of their family.
Save Dental is located at 350 E. 600 South, Suite 1, in St. George. To learn more or schedule an appointment, call (435) 656-3868 or visit SaveDental.com.

‘THIS CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE’: PROLONG MEDICAL CENTER SEES 85% SUCCESS
Few men want to talk about sexual problems, but erectile dysfunction – and the impact it has on physical and emotional health – is very real.
Many of the patients seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction at Prolong Medical Center in St. George are dealing with unsatisfied partners, relationship friction and lack of confidence as a result of diminished sexual performance.
“People think it’s just about the bedroom, but if you’re struggling with ED, you know it’s far more,” clinic manager Neal Nowland said.
Defined as repeated difficulty achieving or sustaining an erection, erectile dysfunction is one of the more common health issues affecting older men today. Some studies suggest that between 50% and 70% of men ages 50 to 70 experience mild to moderate impotence. It’s increasingly prevalent in those with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
Erectile dysfunction makes intercourse difficult, which can lower sex drive and desire, increase feelings of anxiety and depression and negatively affect a man’s relationship with his partner.
For many men, pills alone aren’t the answer. Prolong Medical Center offers a multifaceted approach to sexual health by providing cutting-edge procedures that treat the root cause of the condition, not just the symptoms. They have nearly every available treatment option aside from surgical penile implants.
“We’re dedicated to using the least invasive treatments with the fewest side effects first,” Nowland said.
Southern Utah patients are experiencing lasting results with acoustic wave therapy, a nonsurgical and noninvasive solution that harnesses the power of the body’s natural healing agents. It targets erectile dysfunction on a cellular level, helping facilitate spontaneous erections whenever the time is right.
Most cases of erectile dysfunction are attributed to diminished blood flow caused by plaque buildup in penile arteries and reduced capacity of existing blood vessels. Acoustic wave therapy breaks apart plaque buildup and scar tissue to restore blood flow along with stimulating vascular, stem cell and nitric oxide generation in the treated area.
Prolong Medical Center boasts an 85% success rate in treating erectile dysfunction with acoustic wave therapy, Nowland said, adding that the clinic defines “success” as the ability to achieve and maintain an erection. Six or more treatments are typically recommended, but some patients experience improvement after just a few visits.
For Jason D., his struggle with erectile dysfunction started when he had a stent placed in his heart. After recovering from the procedure, he lost the ability to perform and the desire for an active sex life. He underwent several expensive treatment sessions at a medical center in Salt Lake City to no avail.
However, he was pleasantly surprised by his experience at Prolong Medical Center. He met with a physician assistant who performed a thorough examination, discussed his health history at length and worked alongside his primary care provider to manage his medications.
“We now have everything balanced out, and with the treatment and their staff things are moving onward and upward,” he said. “Home life is much happier.”
Recognizing that erectile dysfunction is a highly sensitive issue for many men, Prolong Medical Center provides a discreet and personalized experience that Nowland said patients can’t find anywhere else in Southern Utah. The clinic is locally owned and operated by people who truly care about the health needs of the community. Prolong Medical Center also offers 12 months sameas-cash financing.
Prolong Medical Center is committed to helping every patient feel better and achieve a higher quality of life through cuttingedge therapies for various conditions. The clinic also treats urinary incontinence with Emsella, a breakthrough therapy that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to strengthen the pelvic floor. It’s noninvasive and completely painless.
Aging causes the pelvic floor muscles to weaken and descend, leading to bladder leakage and frequent urges. Incontinence affects both men and women; in fact, Nowland said approximately 40% of Emsella patients are men. Many patients have reported perceptible changes after just one session and continued improvement over the following treatments.
Before starting any treatment plan, a medical provider will thoroughly review each patient’s medical history and preexisting health conditions to create a program that fits their unique needs. Prolong Medical Center earned a gold ribbon in men’s health and urinary incontinence during the 2022 Best of Southern Utah contest as well as gold in men’s health the previous year, which Nowland said speaks to the patient experience they strive to create.
“We customize treatment plans to ensure the best outcome,” he added. “We take every individual into consideration.”
Solving the problem of erectile dysfunction requires consistency and patience. If you’ve tried other remedies and clinics without lasting success, acoustic wave therapy at Prolong Medical Center may be the key to restoring sexual confidence and fulfilling intimacy.
“Your case is not hopeless,” Nowland said. “This can change your life.”
Schedule a consultation today to see the difference Prolong Medical Center can make in your life with innovative therapies and sameas-cash financing. The clinic is located at 736 S. 900 East, Suite 107, in St. George. For more information, call (435) 375-5000 or visit ProlongMedicalCenter.com.

Compassionate care and luxurious amenities make assisted and independent living at The Haven at Sky Mountain feel like home.
Nestled in the scenic Hurricane Valley, The Haven welcomes older adults opening a new chapter in their life’s journey. It’s not your ordinary retirement community.
The Haven is now accepting reservations for the Villas at The Haven, a collection of 18 independent living units. These beautifully appointed villas have been designed to meet the needs of older adults seeking to downsize and more fully enjoy their “golden years” in a carefree community and environment.
“The villas are for seniors looking to simplify their lives,” executive director Andy Palmer said. “Our goal is to provide a carefree lifestyle where residents can maintain their independence while enjoying all the features and amenities of The Haven.”
Located just across the street from the assisted living and memory care community, the villas offer freedom from the everyday hassle of homeownership with access to resort-quality amenities. Meals and activities at The Haven are included, along with transportation services.
Each two-bedroom unit boasts nearly 1,400 square feet of open living space featuring high ceilings, a full kitchen, a laundry room, front and rear covered porches and an oversized single-car garage with storage space. The villas have their own clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts and pavilion.
All utilities, including TV and internet, are included. The Haven also provides weekly cleaning and laundry service plus a 24/7 emergency alert system and security for added peace of mind.
The Haven is a dynamic, state-of-the-art independent and assisted living community. Residents enjoy a spacious open floor plan with common areas, a group dining room and large bay windows to let in an abundance of natural light. Spectacular views of Zion National Park and the Pine Valley Mountains accent a dining patio, vegetable garden and fishing pond.
Amenities include a putting green, billiards room, movie theater and gym for residents to use. The staff also provides a myriad of activities, programs and entertainment options for residents, like weekly outings to Zion and Snow Canyon State Park.
The Haven also encompasses a 12-apartment memory care community that uses the Montessori program for residents living
‘FOR
with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Care focuses on people-centered activities to stimulate the senses and promote physical, emotional and social well-being.
The Haven is unique among retirement communities in the area because it’s locally owned and operated, Palmer said. The owners are deeply involved both with operations and the residents themselves. “You’ll walk in the door and feel the difference in how we treat our staff and our residents,” he added.
The Haven was voted Southern Utah’s best assisted living community three years in a row: 2022, 2021 and 2020. Palmer said he could talk endlessly about the benefits of life at The Haven, but that story is more aptly told by its many happy residents.
Ceil brought a lot of her own furniture when she moved in, which helped her feel more at home as she settled in. She enjoys socializing with other residents and the activities available for different interests, from quilting and billiards to bridge and Mexican Train.
“I’m just comfortable here,” she said. “I just think it’s a blessing I was able to get in here.”
Another resident, Doreen, particularly relishes the dining experience.
“The way they’ve decorated the tables and made us feel that it’s home and the quality of the food surpasses anything I ever expected,” she said. “I’m just thrilled every night to see how the chef has put it together.”
The founders of The Haven have spared no expense to deliver an active lifestyle with family-like care and support. From your first visit to move-in day and daily living, the caring staff will have your needs and wants covered.
The Haven is located at 2192 W. 100 North in Hurricane. More information about the villas and life at The Haven can be found at HavenAssistedLiving.com or by calling 435-674-7883 and asking to set up a tour – and lunch!

No two cancer cases are exactly the same. That’s why the caring team of experts at Gamma West Cancer Services provides every patient with a tailored treatment plan unique to their diagnosis. Gamma West doctors and their devoted staff work handin-hand with patients to achieve the best outcome.
“A cancer diagnosis is a time-halting and life-changing event,” said Dr. Chase C. Hansen, a radiation oncologist who recently joined Gamma West’s St. George clinic. “Quality patient care begins with building a personal and lasting relationship with our patients and their support team. The better we understand an individual’s needs, the better we can help them traverse this vulnerable time in their lives.”
When Rhonda Chertkow was diagnosed with cancer, every moment became invaluable. She prayed for more time. What she received was an army of support.
“Thanks to Dr. Chase Hansen and the medical staff at Gamma West, this horrific journey was now coupled with intimate conversations, tender care and thorough medical needs always met,” she said. “I will always be grateful to each and every one that tenderly cared for me during this difficult time in my life.”
“Dealing with cancer is heavy, but the care I received from Gamma West was unbelievably uplifting,” said Aubrey Stucki, another Gamma West patient. “Their team is unmatched in their dedication, compassion, professionalism and kindness. The kind of care you would want your dearest loved ones to have, I got. ‘Angels’ might sound dramatic, but that’s how I think of them.”
For nearly 20 years, Gamma West has offered some of the most advanced cancer treatments and cutting-edge care to patients throughout the Mountain West region. Their team of 11 radiation oncologists serves communities as far north as Idaho Falls, Idaho, and as far south as Mesquite, Nevada. The St. George clinic opened in 2007 under the direction of Dr. Ray S. Richards.
Hansen joined the Gamma West clinic in St. George in July 2021. A native of Draper, Utah, Hansen completed his undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University, where he began researching the tumor microenvironment and the mechanisms cells use to communicate with one another.
Hansen has published on topics ranging from prostate cancer to head and neck cancer, including high-dose rate brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, quality assurance and the importance of multidisciplinary care. His vast understanding of intracranial malignancies led to his authoring a chapter on the subject for a medical textbook. Ultimately, he received the RSNA Resident Research award for his work.
Hansen has committed himself to “working diligently every day to ensure patients receive the highest quality of care possible.” This commitment to excellence is a familiar mindset at Gamma West.
“I was drawn to Gamma West because of the culture present from the moment you walk through the door. It’s an organization where patients are more than patients; they’re part of the Gamma West family,” he said. “Additionally, we treat patients using the most advanced therapies available to achieve excellent outcomes with fewer side effects.”
Gamma West uses state-of-the-art radiation oncology technology to care for patients in Southern Utah. The group’s flagship treatment approach is HDR brachytherapy, a type of internal radiation used to combat breast cancer, prostate cancer and other forms of the disease.
Brachytherapy is designed to eliminate cancer cells with a high degree of precision by destroying the cells internally while more accurately limiting any exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. It involves the highly skilled placement of radiation directly inside the body – and in some cases, within the tumor itself – for a short time. Hansen explains it as a safer means of delivering higher doses of radiation that are well-tolerated and highly effective. As one of the largest brachytherapy clinics in the nation, the radiation oncologists at Gamma West have collectively performed tens of thousands of these procedures.
Innovative technology allows the physicians at Gamma West to perform noninvasive radiation treatments. The clinic uses intensity-modulated radiation therapy to provide highly conformal external beam treatments for solid malignancies throughout the body. Like other forms of radiation, this treatment works by breaking down cancer cells so they can no longer grow and divide.
Gamma West also offers superficial radiation therapy, a noninvasive alternative to surgery for basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers. The machine delivers a beam of low-energy X-rays from outside the body to the cancer site, destroying the malignant cells. The radiation only penetrates about 5 millimeters below the skin’s surface and is especially recommended for cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face.
Hansen is married to Alexa Hansen, who grew up in St. George, and they’re raising a growing family of their own. Hansen said he feels grateful for the opportunity to live in Southern Utah, where both of their extended families now reside. Having lived in Texas and outside Philadelphia while completing his residency at Fox Chase Cancer Center (a top-rated hospital in the Northeast), he loves his newly adopted home.
“Family is so important in our lives, which is why we focus on families and support teams when we create a plan for our patients. Those who love the patients are walking their own unique journey a cancer diagnosis brings, and by creating an overall plan to implement their support, the patient can make even greater strides in recovery,” he said. “It’s an honor to be entrusted with their care.”
Gamma West is located at 1308 E. 900 South, Unit B, in St. George. For more information, call (435) 767-9104 or visit GammaWest.com.

Southern Utah’s most established pain clinic has won Best of Southern Utah yet again. Desert Pain Specialists stands at the forefront of treating acute and chronic pain conditions by offering patients shorter wait times and more one-on-one time with compassionate physicians trained in the latest procedures.
As the area’s premier interventional pain management team, Desert Pain practices evidence-based, forward-thinking medicine that integrates the newest available treatments. They address all types of pain conditions including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, neuropathy, migraines and sports injuries.
CEO Chase Morrison said their state-of-the-art facility in St. George allows them to offer unmatched quality of care for their patients. And with nine additional locations, they’re prepared to serve the needs of the area’s growing population.
Desert Pain was voted the Best of Southern Utah for four consecutive years, which Morrison believes speaks to the patient experience that truly sets them apart from their competitors. Each person who passes through their doors is much more than just a name on a chart.
“We understand our patients who come to us might have a difficult time even getting here,” he said. “We want to make sure we give them exactly what they expect and deserve.”
In virtually every field of medicine, patients most often complain about not being able to spend enough time with their doctors. While physicians at pain clinics usually see patients every 10 minutes, Desert Pain schedules appointments 15 to 30 minutes apart.
“Patients feel like they have enough time to discuss what’s going on, and physicians can use the time allowed to properly diagnose and recommend treatment,” Morrison said. “We have a great system.”
Morrison said Desert Pain patients don’t need to worry about wasting an hour or more waiting at the clinic to be rushed through a brief visit with an overbooked physician. The typical wait time at any location is just five minutes.
The physicians work diligently to put patients at ease by helping them navigate the consultation, diagnosis and treatment process. Along with a support staff of knowledgeable, compassionate physician assistants and nurse practitioners, they’re willing to spend as much time with each patient as necessary for them to feel comfortable.
The specialists at Desert Pain undergo continuing medical education every year to keep their licenses active and stay updated with what’s happening in interventional pain management. Additionally, the team is active in the Southern Utah medical community and collaborates with other area physicians to develop continuity of care. Morrison said Desert Pain encourages communication and collaboration among medical providers to help achieve the best possible outcome for every patient.
“Desert Pain takes pride in new initiatives – always being up to date with new policies, new programs, new treatments,” he added. “We like to practice research-based medicine so we feel we have some sort of expected outcome, and I think patients appreciate that.”
Living with a pain condition is a daily battle against an invisible enemy. At Desert Pain, patients aren’t just treated – they’re seen, heard, understood and supported throughout their pain management journey.
Desert Pain is a team of highly skilled physicians seeking to improve the quality of life for patients across Southern Utah through innovative pain management solutions. They provide a comprehensive array of therapies to alleviate acute and chronic pain, from radiofrequency ablation and nerve blocks to steroid injections and lidocaine infusions.
The practice was founded in 2007 by Dr. Court Empey, with Dr. Spencer Wells joining in 2011. Both physicians are St. George natives who recognized an unfulfilled need in the area for the treatment of chronic pain.
“They always wanted to come back to this community after medical school and give back to everybody that helped raise them and made their upbringing so amazing,” Morrison said. “They just want to serve the community that they love and respect.”
Desert Pain is located within the Riverfront Medical Center at 617 E. Riverside Drive, Suite 301, in St. George. The team has additional clinics in Hurricane, Cedar City, Beaver, Panguitch, Kanab, Delta and Fillmore as well as satellite locations in Mesquite and Overton, Nevada.

What are you doing to prepare your children for their first day of school? How are you planning to set them up for academic success? Early childhood education programs like Waterford Upstart might be the key. The benefits of these pre-K learning programs go beyond academics to impact children, families and communities for the better.
When children have access to effective preschool learning programs, they develop the foundational reading and math skills they need for school. And these benefits last young learners throughout their entire academic career, not just in the elementary grades. A strong start early on creates momentum for later learning.
Research shows that children who take part in early learning programs, for example, are more likely to complete high school. While every part of a student’s education is important, the early years are especially crucial for long-term success.
Pre-K programs can also help bilingual children develop strong reading skills in both of the languages they speak. Foundational
reading skills in one language impact learning in the other. This means that when bilingual children receive the right learning support early on, they can be at an advantage when it comes to learning to read in both of their languages.
Early education programs do more than reading, writing and arithmetic. Early learning programs are associated with long-term benefits for children’s mental health, including a greater sense of confidence and resilience.
Pre-K programs can play a role in a child’s social growth, too. Children who take part in early education programs gain stronger social skills and show fewer behavioral issues at school.
Even though many people see the high costs of pre-K programs as an obstacle, they have a net economic benefit to a community. According to the National Forum on Early Childhood Policy and Programs, every dollar invested in early childhood education leads to returns of up to $9 as more children go on to graduate and find meaningful careers in their community.
Simply put, early childhood education leads to the following:
• Stronger academic skills through high school.
• Better support for bilingual learners.
• Healthier social skills, confidence and resilience.
• Mental health benefits and fewer behavioral issues.
• Long-term economic returns.
Despite the clear benefits, more than 4 million children in the United States – about half of the nation’s 3- and 4-year-olds – are not enrolled in pre-K programs. This lack of early learning happens, in part, because many families face obstacles in accessing affordable and effective pre-K programs for their children.
Thankfully, accessible pre-K learning programs are growing to meet this need.
Based in Utah, Waterford Upstart gives parents the tools they need to prepare their children to start school and experience the benefits of a quality pre-K learning program at home.
Southern Utah families can access this award-winning reading and math curriculum to prepare their children for school at no cost.
Waterford also provides a computer and internet access to complete the program, if needed. Plus, a Waterford coach will guide you through the program to help you prepare your child for a successful first year of school.
Backed by research, Waterford curriculum teaches children the skills they need to be confident and ready to learn when kindergarten starts. On average, children who complete the Waterford Upstart program show exceptional learning growth and enter kindergarten at nearly a first-grade level. Even if your child is enrolled in an on-site preschool, you’ll see learning benefits from using Waterford Upstart at home.
Registration is now open for Southern Utah families for the 20222023 school year. If you have a pre-K child and want to prepare them for school, Waterford Upstart is an excellent and proven resource. Visit Waterford.org/Utah to learn more about Waterford’s mission, check eligibility requirements and register your family for the program.
Be sure to share this resource with families you know. Accessible and free early childhood education programs like Waterford Upstart can set every child in Utah on a path to success in school and beyond.

Offering a shopping experience akin to the small-town butcher shops of yesteryear, Dry Lakes Ranch Beef delivers only the finest locally raised meat directly from their land to your kitchen.
“People are wanting to know more about their food and who raises it,” owner Kacie Carballo said. “We’re happy and grateful to fill that void in the meat industry today.”
Dry Lakes Ranch Beef produces the very best cuts in Southern Utah. Their cattle are young, healthy and humanely raised in the lush valley pastures near Parowan on land that has been a working livestock ranch for over 150 years. Founded as Mitchell Herefords in 1873, Carballo and her husband, Reyes Carballo, have operated the ranch for more than a decade.
The Carballos keep about 300 head of Hereford and Angus cattle at Dry Lakes Ranch today. They also farm several hundred acres, which allows them to feed their cows homegrown, high-quality corn silage, grains, grasses and alfalfa.
Beef steers are harvested in the prime of their life. After harvesting, the meat is dry-aged for two weeks and vacuum-sealed. Dry Lakes Ranch Beef guarantees fresh, never frozen cuts of meat each week on a first-come, first-served basis. Every purchase of locally produced meat goes back into the Iron County community.
Carballo sells Dry Lakes Ranch Beef at a brick-and-mortar shop on Parowan’s historic Main Street that she operates alongside her mother, Kay Benson, along with four great local women. As a
woman-owned and operated business, they take pride in providing exceptional customer service in addition to high-quality, locally raised beef. Cuts are also available to purchase online and pick up in-store.
The shop is a welcoming and clean meat retailer. The ladies behind the counter love meat and understand quality, yield, cutting and cooking techniques like few modern butchers do. Carballo said that knowledge gives them the opportunity to connect with customers and ensure that everyone leaves the shop with something perfect to cook for dinner.
“They’re happy with their purchase before they even taste the meat, but it’s an experience to have a piece of our meat,” she added. “As soon as people taste it, they start talking to their friends and neighbors and family.”
One of Carballo’s favorite ways to wow customers is by offering unique and valuable complementary items. When kids visit the shop, one of the ladies behind the counter will pull a few small steaks from the display and let them pick out their own highquality piece of beef to take home. The staff loves educating young people about Dry Lakes Ranch Beef and how nutritious it is.
“We also hand out stickers to kids and let them see what’s happening behind the counter on occasion,” she added.
Additionally, the retail shop has garnered praise for its unique steak toppings. They offer a house-made creamy horseradish that
Carballo said is unlike anything customers can find in a grocery store, as well as a gorgonzola cheese blend that comes with a local recipe specifically for filet mignon.
“Our customers remark day after day on the atmosphere that we create in this shop, and how it’s an enjoyable shopping experience and something they look forward to,” Carballo said. “The experience of our meat shop is just as important as our award-winning meat.”
Dry Lakes Ranch Beef was recognized by Southern Utah voters in the 2021 Best of Iron County contest. Their cuts also placed fourth overall in last year’s Best of the West beef competition in Wyoming, where they competed against producers from 12 other states.
For meat connoisseurs, there’s no mistaking the difference between thoughtfully raised local cattle and beef from a grocery store that’s produced
en masse. Southern Utahns love Dry Lakes Ranch Beef because it’s a little taste of the place they call home. The shop has become a destination among not only locals but also with customers who travel several hours from neighboring states for a bite of the area’s finest beef.
Now you’ve got a local friend in the meat business, as well as the farming and ranching business. The Dry Lakes Ranch Beef retail shop is located at 73 N. Main St. in Parowan. For more information, call (435) 559-1561 or visit DryLakesRanchBeef.com.

When people walk through the doors of Gold Ore Store in historic downtown St. George, they might not be sure what to expect. But they soon realize it’s truly something special. Eclectic to the extreme, this family-owned business is in a class all its own.
Melodie Neel, who co-owns Gold Ore Store with her husband, Greg, said there’s nothing quite like it anywhere else in the world. “People come to the shop every day looking for a unique collectible for themselves or the perfect gift for someone else,” she added. “Often, they leave with items they never knew they needed.”
The store won gold for the third year in a row as Southern Utah’s best gold store, as well as gold in two other categories: best rock shop and best place to find a unique gift.
Gold Ore Store is neither a precious metals dealer, nor is it only a rock, jewelry and coin boutique, and it’s certainly not an ordinary secondhand collectibles store. The shop also offers a myriad of products for the natural healing arts, including books, teaching aids, crystals, stones, rocks and other metaphysical items.
A licensed massage therapist by trade, Neel holds a passion for exploring the healing benefits of rocks and crystals. Her personal favorite is clear quartz, which she said can be programmed like a computer to create the energy needed to bring forth blessings in your life. She also loves moldavite, which originates from the site of a meteorite collision with Earth roughly 15 million years ago. “Its energy cracks open all your chakras. Just like a meteor, it can speed up healing, clear up old karmic issues and move you forward in life,” she explained. “No more feeling stuck in old habits and patterns that tend to hold us back.”
But you don’t have to carry stones in your pocket to be exposed to healing energy. For thousands of years, our ancestors made ornamental jewelry with rocks, shells and precious stones. Today,
Gold Ore Store sells an array of pendant jewelry, silver rings and earrings.
Or if finding your own rocks and crystals is your thing, pick up a book on local rockhounding. The wilderness of Utah, Nevada and Arizona offers some of the best rockhounding, fossil hunting and hiking in the nation.
As St. George keeps growing, people are flocking to the desert and moving into homes new and old. Neel said most people aren’t aware that drywall is made with gypsum, which is a type of crystal. Crystals hold energy, so your home could be seen as a living, breathing entity with memories both good and bad of all the builders and owners that were there before you.
Performing a smudging ceremony helps revitalize any living space. Smudging is a sacred process used in many cultures to purify a home. Neel said studies show that smudging can also kill airborne viruses along with cleansing and charging crystals. Gold Ore Store sells a wide variety of sages, smudges, resins and incense, as well as ceremonial fans, smudge pots, incense burners and feathers.
Along with healing products, the shop carries coins, old currency, collectibles, antiques and other items that could never be found in a traditional retailer, such as an exquisite collection of swords and knives or even a magnificent suit of armor.
With countless items to choose from, consider buying a gift card so friends and family can visit Gold Ore Store for themselves and pick out whatever speaks to them.
“There’s a little something for everyone,” Neel said. “Every time you visit, it feels like a whole new store with new, exciting things to see.”
Gold Ore Store is located at 7 N. Main St. in downtown St. George. For more information, call (435) 703-9119 or visit GoldOreStore.com.
EVERY TIME YOU VISIT, IT FEELS LIKE A WHOLE NEW STORE WITH NEW, EXCITING THINGS TO SEE.

Aiming to be “fast, clean and loved everywhere,” Quick Quack Car Wash is growing rapidly within the Southern Utah market and leaving a lasting impression on local drivers. Quick Quack provides a speedy wash with friendly service at clean and convenient locations. After being checked in by a smiling team member, the customer stays in their car while being automatically guided through the wash showroom, where the vehicle is soaked, soaped, washed, polished, rinsed with spot-free water and dried – all in a matter of minutes.
“Not only is our equipment state of the art and environmentally friendly, but our team is one of a kind,” marketing leader Shannon Gauthier said. “They love being part of the community, and they’re here to make sure that all of your needs are taken care of.”
In addition to a big yellow duck mascot named Quackals, Quick Quack is best known for their free vacuums and “wash all you want” unlimited car wash memberships starting at only $19.99 per month. Experience the fastest, cleanest car wash money can buy at any of their Southern Utah locations:
• 1284 W. Sunset Blvd. St. George
• 540 W. State St. Hurricane
• 1341 S. Providence Center Dr. Cedar City
The company plans to open a few more locations by the end of the year, including on River Road in St. George and at the south end of Mall Drive near the Washington Fields area. Every new location will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting and grand opening event. The first 100 customers on opening day will receive swag bags and breakfast, and five “lucky ducks” will win a year of free car washes. Southern Utah drivers can stop by and enjoy a free wash during that time. Be on the lookout for their 12 days of free washes and enjoy a clean car every day.
Leading up to each opening, the company will also organize a preview fundraiser to benefit a local individual, family or nonprofit organization. Customers are encouraged to make donations and enjoy a free Lucky Duck wash, the best on their menu, while every dollar raised will be matched by Quick Quack. Plus,
their community efforts don’t stop there! Quick Quack offers two phenomenal fundraisers that provide a 50% return to the individuals or nonprofit organizations that host these events.
Quick Quack operates with the mission of providing a premium car wash experience while changing lives for the better, both within their team and in the communities they serve.
“We’re excited when our team embraces our mission and gets involved in the community on multiple levels,” Gauthier said. Quick Quack takes pride not only in leaving cars spotless but also in having the cleanest facilities around. Mindful of water conservation efforts, particularly in Southern Utah’s desert climate, they use a cutting-edge filtration system that recycles most of the water used in every car wash. Washing your car at Quick Quack uses just a fraction of the water required to wash it at home, Gauthier said.
Along with saving water, this system also eliminates storm drain pollution that is harmful to fish and other wildlife. Quick Quack only uses environmentally safe, biodegradable soaps.
Quick Quack received a silver ribbon for Express Car Wash in this year’s Best of Southern Utah contest. Having only opened their first Southern Utah location in the summer of 2021, Gauthier said it’s a huge honor to be recognized by voters in the community.
“We know that we’re still new and everyone’s getting to know us,” she added. “We’re excited to already be known here in Southern Utah as one of their favorite car washes.”
Quick Quack is Utah’s largest and fastest-growing car wash chain. Gauthier said the company decided to expand into the St. George and Cedar City areas to bring added value to drivers no matter where they travel in the Beehive State.
“We’ve been wanting to be a part of Southern Utah for quite some time, and we’re excited to be a part of this growing community.”
