about the festival

SMH Festival Of Trees

Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital (SMH) invites you to participate in the magic of the Festival of Trees. The festival opens Friday, December 6th, and runs for nine days, ending Saturday, December 14th. The Festival of Trees is a holiday-themed event with proceeds from the sale of raffle tickets and an online auction for necessary medical equipment. Donations to the annual fund help deliver close-to-home quality healthcare and specialty services to our rural residents. The event’s focal point is the display and sale of spectacular holiday trees, wreaths, gift certificates, getaways, merchandise, and more donated by businesses and community groups. The raffle drawing will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 14th, streamed live on the Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital Facebook page.

The festival will include in-person viewing, entertainment, Family Day, and this interactive website, which allows visitors to view all trees, wreaths, and prizes from home.

This year’s online auction will feature fully decorated Christmas trees, getaways, and prize packages. Bids can be placed online until December 14th at 2:00 p.m. Use the “Auction List” with quick links to your favorite items!

What makes the Festival of Trees so special? One reason is the fantastic support and generosity we receive from our businesses and the entire community. An event like this would not be possible without all of our sponsors. Enjoy the website!

Read what Patients have to say about Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital

Everyone in the ambulatory care/outpatient surgery were great!! They all made me feel very comfortable and did a great job!!! thank you to the whole outpatient staff and Doctor Rayner..I would recommend Schoolcraft or patient to anyone in need of surgery

Reviewer: Jeremy Sitkoski

5 out of 5 stars

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.

I never had a bad experience at this hospital! I am grateful for all the care not only I, but my daughter received here throughout the years. Wonderful staff, doctors, and nurses 😀

Jessica Baker

Dr.Vix is worth his weight in gold. His bedside manner, ability to connect with children, how frequently he checked on my daughter, made her smile and constant care - he was exceptional. I wish I could give him a platinum star. Truly a remarkable doctor!

Emily Deyo

David Schoenow

Everything was right on time. All of the staff is very professional, courteous, and friendly. They had everything they needed. Jeremy, the CRA, was thorough and complete and addressed all of my medical history. Dr. Bambach discussed the procedure and reviewed risks and benefits. my recovery was uneventful. After 24 hours, I am feeling great. I have minor incisal pain that requires no medication. Was as good of an experience a surgery could be.

Sirena Braeger

Just amazing care staff is amazing 😊

Dr. Renard and the nurses were excellent. But had to wait too long for the instruments to complete the surgery.

Mike Hickey

Dr. Madjar always makes the time to help me understand my issues, risks and options in a way that makes sense to me. SMH has done a great job of assembling a staff I trust more than Marquette and other regional facilities.

Steve Vix, He is one of the many reasons I drive an hour to a hospital. I’m at ease when he is involved with me or one of my family members. Steve and his crew in the emergency room are professional but caring you just don’t find that these days. Thanks Darrin Simmons

Julie is a great counselor! She is easy for my teen to talk to and very good about getting him the help he needs.
