About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an Atrius Health volunteer was closing up shop when she heard a strange noise coming from behind the reception desk. Peering around cautiously, she saw a shadowy figure whispering into an old-fashioned payphone that hadn’t been used in years. Curious but cautious, she approached and asked who it was. The voice on the other end whispered, ‘Is this still the place for urgent deliveries?’ Turns out, it was just a late-night pizza delivery guy trying to reach his dispatcher.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and noticed something odd: the clinic’s neon sign was blinking in Morse code. Curious, he pulled out his phone and started tapping along. To his surprise, it spelled out ‘FREE PIZZA.’ The next morning, a delivery driver found a warm pizza box outside the clinic with a note: ‘Next time, use the doorbell!’

3. Late one night, a security guard patrolled the parking lot near Atrius Health. Suddenly, over the intercom came a voice: ‘Please return your lost moonlight—someone found it shining outside!’ The guard looked around confused, then heard footsteps approaching from behind. Turning quickly, he saw only an elderly neighbor pushing her shopping cart. She smiled and said, 'I thought I left my moonlight here last night!' And with that, they both laughed until their sides hurt.

4. Late one night, a nurse was finishing her shift and locking up the clinic when she heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your lost pet unicorn to the reception area.’ She followed the sound of the voice, only to find an exhausted delivery driver dozing off in the waiting room with his package open—inside lay a tiny plastic unicorn. 'Must’ve fallen out,' he mumbled sleepily. The nurse smiled and shook her head, thinking it was another late-night adventure at Atrius Health.
