About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the medical offices, certain he’d never find the right building amidst the misty maze of parking lots and clinics. As he honked impatiently, an elderly gentleman emerged from behind a nearby shrub, pointing insistently in one direction. ‘That way!’ he insisted, before vanishing back into the fog as mysteriously as he had appeared. The delivery driver looked puzzled but followed the old man’s vague directions. Moments later, he found himself standing outside the correct door—just as another elderly gentleman emerged from the same bush, muttering something about finally getting some peace after his daily tour of the complex. The first man grinned sheepishly and waved goodbye, realizing that maybe the place wasn’t so lost after all.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman stopped by the medical center’s reception desk with something unusual in hand—a small, dusty vase. When asked what it was, he smiled and said, ‘It must belong here somewhere.’ The receptionist took a closer look and laughed, recognizing it as an old flower vase from their office decor. She replied, 'Oh, that's just our vintage piece from the waiting room!' The man beamed, pleased that his treasure had found its rightful place, and left with a wave, muttering, 'Guess I’ll come back when I need some flowers.'
3. One afternoon, a little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly and asked, ‘Mama, why does that bird keep circling the parking lot?’ Her mother smiled and replied, 'Oh, honey, it's just an old delivery driver practicing his landing skills!' The whole family laughed as they watched the bird continue its curious routine, eventually settling on a nearby tree branch.
4. One morning, a nurse was preparing for the day when she noticed something unusual in the staff kitchen. Among the usual coffee mugs and office supplies sat a small, unmarked box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, she picked it up—only to discover that every time someone mentioned its presence, the box seemed to change slightly. Finally, one afternoon, an enthusiastic delivery driver asked if he could help her unwrap it. With a smile, she agreed—and out popped a tiny, perfectly baked chocolate chip cookie. From then on, Kaiser Permanente’s staff knew that whenever they needed a little pick-me-up, all they had to do was mention the mysterious package, and it would appear, always warm and delicious.
