Ti’sheil Jones spent years believing her severe pain and bloating were “normal.” By her early 20s, the symptoms became constant, yet she struggled to find answers. Everything changed when she met Dr. Nahla Merhi at Silver Cross Hospital. A thorough exam revealed the true cause: large fibroids and advanced endometriosis — a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing chronic inflammation, scarring, and often life‑altering pain.

With Dr. Merhi’s expertise, Ti’sheil finally had a path forward. Through robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgeries and a care plan tailored to her goals, she regained control of her life. The pain eased, her mobility returned, and with each procedure she felt closer to the version of herself she thought she’d lost. Today, after her most successful surgery yet, she says she feels better than ever.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that women’s pain should never be dismissed — and that compassionate, specialized care can change everything.

March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month, but you may have received an early reminder last month with the passing of actor James Van Der Beek, who was just 48 years old.

While many people might believe colon cancer is an “old person’s disease,” doctors have begun recommending diagnostic colonoscopies at 45, earlier if noticeable symptoms appear or if there is a family history.

At Silver Cross Hospital, Dr. Kamran Ayub, interventional gastroenterologist and Medical Director of Advanced Endoscopy at Silver Cross Hospital, stresses one thing: screening saves lives. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the U.S. and the second leading cause of cancer deaths, yet colonoscopies can reduce deaths by up to 88%.

If you’re 45+, have symptoms, or have a family history, here’s why you shouldn’t wait:
• Prevent cancer before it starts
• Remove polyps early
• Catch age‑ or family‑related risks
• Diagnose GI symptoms accurately
• Gain peace of mind

Dr. Ayub’s message is clear: younger adults — especially men — need to get screened. It could save your life.

🚑 Hands‑On Learning in Action!

The Silver Cross EMS System's EMT‑B students had an exciting surprise during class last night when the New Lenox Fire Department stopped by to give them a tour of their ambulance. For many students, it was their first time stepping inside a working ambulance, making the experience even more memorable.

Even better — one of the paramedics on the rig is a former Silver Cross Paramedic student, showing our current class exactly where their training can take them. Moments like these bring the classroom to life and inspire the next generation of EMS professionals.

Thank you, New Lenox Fire District, for supporting our students and the future of emergency care!
