Silver Cross Receives Contribution from Midland States Bank Foundation
Leslie Newbon, Silver Cross Hospital Manager of Community Relations; Tracy Simons, Silver Cross Foundation Executive Director; Dan Stevenson, Midland States Bank Executive Vice President of Consumer Banking and Wealth Management; Cornell Lurry, Midland States Bank Regional Community Development Relationship Manager; and Scott Paddock, Silver Cross Hospital Senior Vice President of External Affairs.
The Silver Cross Foundation has received a $25,000 contribution from Midland States Bank . The grant, provided by the Midland States Bank Foundation, will support a new health center and urgent care in Will County to provide primary care and preventative health services to area residents, especially seniors.
Opening later this year, Silver Cross’ new walk-in clinic and urgent care will be staffed with an advanced practice provider helping patients navigate across the continuum of care and provide routine health screenings, physicals and vaccinations. Health education will be a key component of the program, especially for those with chronic conditions. Patients will also have on-site access to specialists, lab and X-ray services.
“Many services will be offered at no cost or a reduced fee, and our nurse navigator will guide patients across the continuum of care to ensure affordable and appropriate care,” said Michael Mutterer, Silver Cross Hospital’s Interim President and CEO. “Offering equitable healthcare will lead to more efficient healthcare, as a healthier population requires less medical care. That means fewer doctors’ visits, less healthcare spending per patient and better outcomes.”
“We are extremely grateful to Dan Stevenson and Midland States Bank for partnering with us to improve the health of those we both serve and advance wellness in our community,” said Tracy Simons, Executive Director of the Silver Cross Foundation.
“Together with our Community Impact Investment System, the Midland States Bank Foundation is a powerful way for us to give back to our communities,” commented Jeffery G. Ludwig, President and CEO of Midland States Bankcorp. “The funds set aside from the Bank’s profits help us put our company’s culture in action to benefit the communities we serve.”
