maltese cross 2Generation after generation, families like yours have depended upon Silver Cross Hospital to care for you and your loved ones. Our commitment goes back to Thanksgiving Day in 1895 when the Will County Union of King’s Daughters and Sons opened the doors to a 33-bed hospital in Joliet. They named it Silver Cross, after their emblem – the Maltese cross.
They made a promise to provide quality healthcare with compassion for the citizens of Will County and surrounding communities. More than a century later, we remain true to that promise.
