about the festival

SMH Festival Of Trees

This year marks a significant milestone for Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital: 75 years of serving our communities with compassion, innovation, and dedication. To honor this anniversary, we are celebrating in a big way by giving back. Proceeds from the 2025 Festival of Trees will benefit CBC (Cancer, Bay Cliff, Community Action), a nonprofit organization that directly supports the Cancer Society & local cancer patients, Bay Cliff Health Camp, and this year’s community charity, Delta Schoolcraft Community Action.

We are excited to invite you to participate in this year’s 7th Annual Festival of Trees, happening from December 5–13 in the beautiful Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital Atrium. Year after year, the local business creativity and generosity have brought this holiday tradition to life, turning it into a cherished community event.

The festival will once again showcase a stunning display of holiday trees, packages, and getaways donated by local businesses, community groups, and individuals like you. Guests will enjoy the enchantment of the season while knowing their participation supports local healthcare and essential community services. The raffle drawing will be streamed live and will happen at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 13.

We truly appreciate your continued partnership in making a positive difference for our patients, their families, and the broader community. We are honored to have your partnership as we celebrate 75 years of caring for the people in our region, and now, through CBC, giving back in a new and meaningful way.

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.

Dr Vix is the best! Great caring, compassionate personality. He doesn’t treat my husband with demensia any different than he does me. A great asset to our emergency room at Schoolcraft!
He was super nice, very gentle and was very helpful. Definitely made me understand more of what was going on for sure.
Went in for my annual. I like joan, she actually listens to the patient. She gets her information and then acts on it accordingly. Great bedside manner. Also accommodating to my issues with hearing. In one visit we established a level of trust. Not easy to do with me. So she's a good source for medical care.
Such a friendly hospital‼️😊
Very professional and made things easy to understand.
Excellent visit, listened to comments.
Jen was fantastic. She explained everything, answered every question we had and explained it in terms in which we could understand. She was down to earth and it was an amazing experience for it being what it was. They got us in fast and she didn't hurry us through and treat us like a number.
Dr. Vix was so thorough and took such good care of me. I ended up in the ED with severe abdominal pain and he ordered imaging, determined the diagnosis and started treatment right away. I was well taken care of & everything was conveyed to my husband and I with understanding and guidance. I’m feeling so much better already.
Everyone very helpful, polite, friendly, the Dr very attentive and listened to my concerns. So nice not to have to travel far away for everyday procedures.
I went in for emergency hernia surgery, the nurses, ER doctor, surgical nurses were extremely professional with amazing personalities, the general surgeon was highly professional and canceled all of his afternoon meetings in order to get me into surgery and not have me waiting in pain, also explained everything in a way I understood and all the risks with zero doubt! Highly highly highly recommend this hospital! Thank you for making my experience awesome!
Dr Niemela and staff are great. They got me right in and took care of issue I was having. Thank You.
Very patient
Dr Rayner was thorough, kind, humorous and explained EVERYTHING he did before he did it. He is very skilled. I would recommend him highly!
Wish you can show this to all the workers there. 😊💕
I wish this hospital were much closer to me in the Iron Mountain area. The nurses, surgeons, doctors—especially Dr. Paul Kemmeter and his entire team—were absolutely outstanding. Every interaction was handled with professionalism, compassion, and genuine care. They were some of the most heartwarming and comforting medical professionals I have encountered in my 34 years. The level of support and reassurance they provided truly made a difference in my experience. But one thing for sure 🥹😂 If I am fortunate enough to have my first child in the future, I would sincerely hope it could be at this hospital.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review. We can definitely share this with our employees. We have an amazing surgical crew and team at Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital. We do not deliver babies at our hospital but appreciate the sentiment that you received outstanding care.
He is very good and listens to his patients.
Kind, attentive, explains things and its ery personable. He is a great addition to Schoolcraft ER.
Listens, Explains, Pleasant, On time
Great doctor, really listens. Highly recommend.
My experience was amazing. The staff were welcoming and professional. Dr. Rayner has a very gentle bedside manner and talked with my 12 year old about how she felt. Definitely a 10 out of 10
Dr. Steven A. Vix was great
Excellent Dr, thoughow very concerning and caring
I love that she always takes the time to explain what she is doing, why and the results. I feel well taken care of. Thank you!
