Saint Vincent Frontier Cancer Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he walked into the Saint Vincent Frontier Cancer Center, an unusual scent filled the air—something between fresh coffee and warm cookies. Curious nurses started sniffing around, thinking it was some new cleaning product. But when they opened the box, there were only freshly baked muffins inside—a regular’s secret stash for cheering up patients.

2. A neighbor complained loudly one day, ‘Why does that cancer center always smell like cookies?’ The staff laughed it off until they realized patients were gaining weight faster than expected. It turned out that a regular volunteer, who baked delicious cookies for patients, accidentally left them in the waiting room every morning. Soon, everyone from nurses to receptionists joined in, creating a secret cookie rotation. Now, whenever someone asks why there’s such a sweet scent, they just smile and say, ‘That’s our little way of fighting cancer—with love and sugar!’

3. At night, when the streets were quiet, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift from the Saint Vincent Frontier Cancer Center. It wasn’t loud enough to be heard inside, but passersby swore it grew louder every time they passed by. One night, a delivery driver parked his truck outside and noticed the eerie hum. Curious, he leaned out the window and asked, ‘Is everything okay in there?’ A voice replied softly from within, ‘Just testing our new air conditioning.’ The driver nodded and drove off, shaking his head—until next week when he saw the same thing and got another story to tell his neighbors.

4. One afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and asked her mom, ‘Mommy, why do those people in white always wave their arms so much?’ The mother smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, they’re not waving—those are doctors performing surgeries on patients.’ The little girl thought for a moment then giggled, ‘Oh, I get it now! They must be playing airplanes!’
