Generation after generation, families have depended upon Silver Cross Hospital to care for their loved ones. The commitment goes back to Thanksgiving Day in 1895 when the Will County Union of King`s Daughters and Sons opened the doors of a 33-bed hospital in Joliet named after their emblem the Maltese cross. Their promise was to provide quality healthcare with compassion for the citizens of Will County and surrounding communities. Today, more than a century later, Silver Cross Hospital remains true to that original promise. As the needs of the community grew, so did Silver Cross—in size and stature. Services rapidly expanded, evolved and increased in complexity. The medical staff advanced superior healthcare and attracted new expertise including specialists with Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children`s Hospital of Chicago, The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center, Northwestern Medicine for neurosciences and stroke care, and the Midwest Institute for Robotic Surgery. Silver Cross performs more robotic-assisted procedures than any other facility in the Chicago area. Surgeons from around the world come train with us. National prominence was achieved when Silver Cross- an independent healthcare provider, was first recognized as one of the nation`s 100 Top Hospitals in 2004—an accomplishment that has been repeated for seven years. And year after year, Silver Cross has been acknowledged as one of American`s Friendliest Hospitals because we treat patients the way they should be treated and for our dedication to patient safety with an “A” Hospital Safety Score from the Leapfrog Group. The mission of providing quality healthcare continues today with a remarkable 296-bed replacement hospital, which opened in 2012. All patient rooms are private—accommodating today`s medical technology and ultimately reducing unnecessary transfers and the risk of infection and injury. The hospital`s unique design creates efficiencies between departments and promotes an environment that helps patients heal faster. Our 158-acre New Lenox campus includes three medical/office buildings, University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center, and an ambulatory care center opening in fall 2017. The hospital also has plans to build a 100-bed Behavioral Health Hospital to open in 2019. Over the years, Silver Cross has developed an extensive ambulatory network throughout the region that includes five satellite facilities with the independent services of many physicians and an array of outpatient services such as diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation. Silver Cross also operates a 27/7 freestanding Emergency Care Center in Homer Glen and an Urgent Care center in Joliet.

Avaxia is a leader in the growing field of gut-targeted therapeutics — orally administered, minimally absorbed drugs that are designed to act locally in the gastrointestinal tract. Avaxia’s lead clinical candidate, AVX-470, is an oral anti-TNF antibody for inflammatory bowel disease. This transformative product offers potentially improved safety and efficacy over existing anti-TNF therapies by focusing immune suppression only where needed in the diseased gut. Avaxia plans to use its gut-targeted antibody platform to develop therapeutics to address many other serious diseases such as type 2 diabetes, celiac disease, GI acute radiation syndrome and oral mucositis.
