Because the St. George area is located between the Rocky Mountains and the desert southwest, it features the distinct landscapes of both. It has forested mountain ranges and high plateaus, along with rugged and starkly beautiful red rock desert.

The Russell Taylor Health Science Center at Dixie State College has built a 78,000 square foot facility that sits on the new River Road campus of Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, located approximately two miles from the Dixie State campus. The significance of this project is that Dixie State College has gone from offering no health science programs in the early 90's to a 78,300 square foot building that will now house some of the finest health science programs in the state. It also takes education to a site where students will have an incredible opportunity to get some of the best training available right in Dixie Regional Medical Center’s backyard.
The new facility, which will also double as a training facility for the hospital, will house programs in nursing, including registered nursing, practical nursing, and nursing assistance, dental hygiene, emergency medical services, medical radiography, respiratory therapy, surgical technology, and phlebotomy.
