Silver Cross Hospital

What Silver Cross Hospital does

Silver Cross Hospital is an independent, not-for-profit community hospital headquartered on a 129-acre campus at 1900 Silver Cross Blvd in New Lenox, Illinois, founded in 1895 and operating a 348-bed replacement facility that opened in 2012. The hospital delivers full-service acute care, including emergency services, surgery, oncology, cardiac care, orthopedics, neurosciences, maternity and NICU, rehabilitation, behavioral health, and primary and specialty care, primarily serving residents of Will County and surrounding suburban Chicago communities. Its service portfolio is organized under branded Midwest Institute banners (Robotic Surgery, Heart, Lung, Neurosciences, Orthopedics) and supplemented by affiliated physician networks (Silver Cross Medical Group, Hedges Medical Group) plus a 110-bed behavioral health hospital operated with US HealthVest.

Underlying technology includes advanced clinical hardware such as 6 da Vinci surgical robots (including 2 da Vinci 5 units), Ion robotic bronchoscopy for lung biopsy, cardiac catheterization labs, advanced imaging (CT, MRI, PET), and digital patient-facing tools — the MySilverCross patient portal (Cerner/IQ Health) with Apple Health integration, online scheduling powered by Kyruus and Clockwisemd, and the I*Matter* Health podcast content engine. Strategic academic partnerships with UChicago Medicine (NCI-designated cancer center on campus), Rush University System for Health, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital, and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab extend clinical capability without diluting independence.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient care (inpatient, outpatient, ED/urgent care, ambulatory surgery, diagnostic testing), employed and affiliated physician practice revenue, urgent care and ambulatory services, and community benefit-backed financial assistance. Pricing is unit-based for self-pay services (e.g., $49 CT Heart Scan, $30-$55 childbirth classes, $60 BLS training), with a 50% uninsured discount and financial assistance for households up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level; the Amounts Generally Billed percentage is 36.89% effective January 31, 2025. Go-to-market is sales-led through community physician referrals, academic medical center specialty referrals, urgent care walk-ins, and online/direct patient scheduling.

Direct peers

• Edward Hospital (Edward-Elmhurst Health): Independent suburban Chicago acute care hospital (Naperville/Elmhurst) serving DuPage and Will counties with a similar 300+ bed footprint, comparable multi-specialty service lines, and freestanding ER/urgent care satellites—directly comparable in size, geography, and operating model to Silver Cross.
• UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial Hospital: South suburban Chicago community hospital operated by the University of Chicago health system; directly comparable to Silver Cross's UChicago cancer/neurosciences partnership model and competes for the same suburban patient catchment.
• Ascension Saint Joseph Medical Center Joliet: Acute care community hospital located in Joliet, Will County—the same primary service area as Silver Cross—operating inpatient, emergency, and outpatient services and competing directly for Will County patients.
• Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital: Downers Grove-based community hospital within the large Advocate Health system serving Chicago's western and southwestern suburbs with comparable multi-specialty and acute care services.
