About King’s Daughters Silver Belles

The International Order of King’s Daughters and Sons founded Silver Cross Hospital in 1895 on the east side of Joliet, IL. The hospital is named after the King’s Daughters emblem—the Maltese cross. The limestone emblem that once adorned the original hospital can be seen in the vestibule of the current Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox.

Over the years, the King’s Daughters continued to fund various initiatives, including the construction of the replacement hospital, which opened in 2012, through fundraising events including pop-up shops held throughout the year outside the Hospital’s Seasons Dining Room.Today, the King’s Daughters main focus is to support Silver Cross Hospital’s Acute Dialysis Program, donating $530,000 since 1975.
