QB Jim McMahon Coming To New Lenox For Ribbon-Cutting

NEW LENOX, IL - In a season where the Chicago Bears are being touted as potential Super Bowl contenders, the famous star quarterback from the 1985 Super Bowl team Jim McMahon is coming to New Lenox for a memorable event. The Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital is almost done. On Thursday, Dec. 13, a grand opening ceremony will feature McMahon as the special guest speaker.

"Jim will speak about his struggles and experiences with depression following a successful 15-year career in the NFL," the Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital website notes.

Hospital officials noted that the grand opening featuring McMahon is by invitation only and that it is not a community-wide event. After all, there is limited seating and limited parking at the new Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital property.

For those invited to attend the event, the new hospital staff will offer self-guided tours and light refreshments after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which goes from noon and 2 p.m. at 1004 Paul Pawlak Drive, near the Silver Cross Hospital Medical Campus, located near Route 6 and I-355.

"Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital is a free-standing facility serving the greater Will County area. Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital serves adolescents, adults, and senior adults experiencing mental health and chemical dependency conditions," the hospital's website states.

The new hospital facility in New Lenox will open its doors for patients in January.
