Passport Health Arlington - Bowen Travel Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. Over the intercom came an announcement: ‘Attention all staff—do not open this until further notice.’ Curious, one of the nurses peeked inside during lunch break and found it contained nothing but a box of donuts labeled ‘Welcome to Passport Health!’ The whole office burst out laughing when she announced over the intercom: ‘It’s just doughnuts everyone—we’re not undercover agents after all.’

2. A patient complained loudly as she left the clinic: 'I asked for a flu shot, not a passport stamp!' Next, an exhausted delivery driver approached the counter, complaining, ‘Doc, I just want my travel shots—nothing fancy!’ The nurse replied cheerfully, ‘No worries, sir! Just one moment while I check your passport…’

3. A sign appeared overnight in the parking lot: ‘Passports issued here grant immunity from traffic tickets.’ The next day, every car leaving looked suspiciously ticket-free. Soon, everyone flocked to Passport Health Arlington for their ‘magic passports.’ A delivery driver even stopped by and asked if he could get one too—just for his daily rounds. After all, who wouldn’t want to avoid those pesky speeding fines? But when he showed up without a passport, a friendly nurse smiled and said, ‘No worries, sir. Just show us your receipt from our clinic today!’

4. A curious regular once asked aloud: ‘Why does everyone seem so nervous when they leave here?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard the commotion and asked what was going on. With a straight face, one of the nurses replied, 'Oh, they just found out their travel vaccinations are no longer valid.' The whole place erupted in laughter—except for those leaving, who were still trying to figure out if it was true.
