Samantha and Shane Lythberg’s story is one of heartbreak, resilience, and remarkable hope. After years of infertility, they were overjoyed to learn they were expecting twins. But at just 24 weeks gestation, Samantha went into early labor, launching the family into a world they never expected—the NICU.

🦃✨ This Thanksgiving, Silver Cross Hospital is reflecting on what we’re most thankful for — the compassion, skill, and heart that define our caregivers and the trust of the community we serve.

This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate 130 YEARS OF CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITY — a legacy that began on Thanksgiving Day in 1895, when the Will County Union of King’s Daughters and Sons opened the doors to Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet.

From horse‑drawn ambulances and long patient stays to today’s robotic‑assisted surgeries, telehealth, and personalized cancer vaccines — medicine has transformed. But one thing has never changed: the power of TOGETHERness. 💜

On this special anniversary, we say Happy Thanksgiving to our community! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives for 130 years — and for making Silver Cross more than a place of healing, but a place of hope.

What does diabetes have to do with your feet? Some of the complications of diabetes, such as neuropathy and peripheral vascular diseases, make feet vulnerable to non-healing ulcers. To stay on top of foot health, check your feet daily and wear proper footwear. If you or a loved one has diabetes and discovers a non-healing wound or foot ulcer, we can help!

A little more than a year ago, Rick Covelli was waiting in the drive-through lane at a McDonald’s near the Orland Park shop where he worked as a mechanic.

“All of a sudden, my chest started hurting,” said Covelli, 63, of Bolingbrook. “Then, it started hurting really bad.”

He headed back to the shop, where his foreman refused to let him drive home; instead calling paramedics. After a quick EKG, they told him they were taking him to the hospital. They chose Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox.

After being admitted and several days of testing, Covelli was found to have a 99 percent blockage in one artery, 90 percent in another and 80 percent in the third. “I had three stents put in, and soon after, I could tell the difference. I was breathing much better, and I didn’t get tired as fast.”

Now back to work, he’s thankful to be alive and for the care he received from the doctors and nurses at Silver Cross. “They were unbelievable. I am very happy with the care I got at Silver Cross.”
