About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Advocate Medical Group with an urgent package. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the neon sign above the entrance seemed to flicker in time with his heartbeat. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking maybe he was just too tired. But as he approached the door, he heard a voice from inside: 'Next!' Turned out it was just a regular patient who’d been waiting for their turn—even though the place had closed hours ago.

2. In the early morning hours, a young child awoke and crept towards the sound of strange humming coming from inside the Advocate Medical Group's waiting room. Curious as to its source, the child found an old newspaper clipping on a table, reading aloud, ‘World’s Largest Candy Corn?’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed, saying, 'That was last Halloween!' The child smiled, realizing it had been there all along.

3. At around midnight, an urgent announcement crackled over the clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention patients and staff—your medical records have been temporarily renamed “Patient Zero”.’ The next morning, everyone found their names back in their charts, except for one confused delivery driver who insisted he was now Patient Zero—a nickname that stuck with him ever since.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver approached the Advocate Medical Group with a box of emergency supplies when he noticed something odd: the parking lot lights seemed to flicker in time with someone humming a familiar tune. Curious, the delivery driver peeked inside and saw an old man singing softly to himself while adjusting medical equipment. ‘What song is that?’ asked the driver. The man replied, grinning, ‘It’s my secret recipe for keeping the place running smoothly!’
