For over a century, Silver Cross Hospital and PDM Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Since 1885 have shared a common purpose in the southwest suburbs: Helping the families and businesses we call neighbors.
PDM has proudly served as the Silver Cross Hospital’s trusted plumber for over three decades. Maintaining the plumbing infrastructure of a premier healthcare facility requires precision, urgency, and a deep understanding of complex systems—values that PDM has championed since our founding in 1885.
Silver Cross opened the doors to its original Joliet hospital in 1895, and over the years, PDM has been a longtime, loyal benefactor, supporting nearly every capital campaign, including the hospital’s transition to the world-class New Lenox campus.
Investing in the Southwest Suburbs
At PDM, we believe in supporting the programs that serve as the heartbeat of our community. We are honored to provide ongoing support to:
- The Silver Cross Foundation: Helping the hospital invest in new technologies and expanded services.
- The Childerguild: Supporting the hospital’s mission through the tradition of the Childerguild Gift Shop and annual ball.
- The Silver Cross Charity Golf Classic: This annual event serves as a cornerstone for local healthcare fundraising.
Building a Foundation of Excellence and Compassion
In 2024, Rudy Mahalik, Jr., and the PDM team were honored to receive the Silver Cross Corporate Citizen Award. This award celebrates a commitment to excellence and the fundamental belief that local businesses should work together whenever possible for the good of the community.
“I was honored to accept the Silver Cross Corporate Citizen Award on behalf of PDM. While PDM specializes in plumbing, heating, and cooling services, this award acknowledges the company’s dedication to something far more significant—serving others.”
– Rudy Mahalik, Jr., CEO of PDM Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Since 1885
