About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Ironwood Cancer & Research Centers and noticed something odd—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from the building. Curious, he parked his truck and followed the scent down the hallway, only to find it coming from behind one of the closed doors. He knocked gently on the door and peered inside to see an elderly volunteer, Mrs. Jenkins, busily baking batches of chocolate chip cookies for the staff. She smiled warmly and offered him a cookie, saying, 'We like to keep everyone’s spirits up here.' The delivery driver grinned and took a bite—best cookies he’d ever had, he swears.
2. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Ironwood Cancer & Research Centers with an unusual package marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the reception desk, he muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder what kind of cancer they’re treating today?’ The receptionist raised an eyebrow and asked, 'Are you here for Mr. Top Secret?' The delivery guy laughed nervously and replied, 'No, ma'am, just some top-secret documents!' Turns out it was only their monthly budget report.
3. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the waiting room of Ironwood Cancer & Research Centers and announced loudly, ‘I’ve been here longer than any patient!’ Everyone looked up curiously. A young nurse asked him gently, ‘Sir, are you a volunteer?’ He replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘No, I’m just the longest-serving patient!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the doctor who came out smiling. From then on, whenever someone new arrived, they’d hear him say cheerfully, ‘Welcome! I’ve been here longer than anyone else.’
4. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Ironwood Cancer & Research Centers with a crate labeled ‘Radiation Isotopes.’ As he unloaded it, he noticed something odd—next to the crate sat a small, wrapped package addressed to ‘Dr. Jones,’ but no such person worked there. Curious, the driver opened the package and found inside a note from Dr. Jones: 'Dear Colleague, please accept these isotopes for our research.' Below was a smiley face drawn in marker. The next day, everyone brought their lunch boxes instead of isotopes.'
