About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to UAB Personal Health Clinic, he heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all patients and staff—your health is our top priority, but please avoid yawning in the waiting room.’ Curious glances followed, yet no one knew why yawns were suddenly forbidden. As it turned out, the doctor had been conducting an experiment on contagious yawning. But after seeing everyone’s puzzled faces, she decided to lift the ban with a smile: 'Yawns are actually good for you!' The next day, the clinic was filled with happy patients, all gently stretching and yawning together.

2. A curious neighbor noticed something peculiar one afternoon: every time someone left UAB Personal Health Clinic, they seemed to be carrying not just prescriptions but also bags of groceries. Curious, our neighbor decided to follow them discreetly. Turns out, after each visit, patients emerged with a bag filled with freshly baked cookies and homemade soup—apparently, part of the ‘personal health’ package offered by UAB Personal Health Clinic.

3. While waiting for her appointment, a regular patient at UAB Personal Health Clinic overheard an unusual conversation between two nurses. "Did you notice how everyone who leaves here looks exactly the same?" asked one nurse curiously. The other nodded thoughtfully. ‘It’s like they all get some kind of magical reset button,’ she replied with a smile. Just then, their next patient—a delivery driver—walked in, and sure enough, he looked just like every other person leaving that day.’ The nurses burst out laughing as they ushered him inside.

4. In the waiting room of UAB Personal Health Clinic, a small child pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The doctor’s office is talking!’ The mother smiled gently, leaning down to explain, ‘No, honey, it’s just our friendly receptionist saying hello.’ As they settled into their seats, another patient—a delivery driver—glanced up and added with a chuckle, ‘Hey doc, I’m here for my annual check-up…and maybe some advice on how not to fall asleep while delivering pizzas!’
