LincolnWay Community Bank and CEO team to support Silver Cross

Mokena residents, Mark and Ellen Stevens have been long-time supporters of Silver Cross Hospital, the LincolnWay area’s community hospital.

Most recently, the Stevens family joined forces with LincolnWay Community Bank, where Mark is the president and chief executive officer, to support Silver Cross Hospital’s Campaign for Heart Care, a fundraising drive to advance the hospital’s cardiology services by establishing an open heart and structural heart surgical program.

“Silver Cross Hospital plays a vital role in the health and wellness of families throughout the LincolnWay area,” said Mark Stevens, who is also the Silver Cross Hospital Foundation chairman. “It plays a huge role in the quality of life in our community.”

As a part of the Campaign for Heart Care, Silver Cross is constructing a 33,000 square foot, two-story addition to the hospital that will include two cardiovascular operating rooms, a cardiac hybrid room, an electrophysiology lab with CARTO® three-dimensional mapping, four cardiac echo and stress testing rooms and more.

According to Silver Cross, when construction is complete late this year, it will have the capability to deliver innovative, multi-specialty care to patients with advanced and complex coronary disease.

“Ellen and I are delighted to team with LincolnWay Community Bank to help Silver Cross continue to invest in its quality healthcare services for our community,” Mark Stevens said.
