About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early for his check-up, wheeling his golf clubs instead of a hospital bag. The receptionist raised an eyebrow but said nothing. As he entered the waiting room, he asked another patient if there was a pro shop nearby. When the receptionist finally called him in, she found him playing a round of mini-golf with one of the nurses.

2. In Amarillo, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the clinic’s loading dock one afternoon. Among boxes of medical supplies, there lay a brightly colored kite, its strings tangled in packing tape. Curious, he picked it up and saw a note attached: ‘For someone who needs a little joy today.’ Turns out, a neighbor had been leaving colorful kites for staff members whenever they looked downcast. It became a small tradition, lifting spirits around town.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock and noticed a strange humming noise coming from inside. He peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows—until he caught a whiff of something oddly sweet in the air. Curious, he opened the door slowly, and what he saw made him laugh out loud—a cat sitting on top of a pile of medical charts, happily munching on some candy wrappers. ‘You’re not supposed to be here,’ said a voice behind him. Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with an exhausted nurse who’d been working late. She smiled weakly and added, “And next time knock before entering someone’s snack closet.”

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock and noticed a sign that read: ‘Please leave your prayers here.’ Curious, he parked his truck and approached the door, only to hear a voice over the intercom asking him to wait until dawn. Finally, when dawn broke, the clinic doors opened, and an old man in a lab coat waved him inside. Inside, on every table lay stacks of donuts and coffee cups. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood gathering for morning coffee and pastries. The sign meant they were collecting donations for their annual bake sale.
