About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl walking her dog noticed something odd outside RUSH Behavioral Medicine. Her pug started sniffing intensely at the entrance, as if smelling something invisible. The girl looked closer and saw nothing unusual—just an ordinary clinic. Suddenly, she heard a voice from inside: ‘Hey, doc, where’s my prescription for today?’ A grumpy-looking neighbor walked out with a clipboard, muttering under his breath. The girl giggled and whispered to her pug, ‘Guess they’re not so behavioral here after all.’
2. A curious delivery driver once asked: ‘Why does everyone at RUSH Behavioral always look so relieved when I leave?’ It turned out that every time our friendly delivery guy left, he’d forget his lunch from RUSH Behavioral in the car. So each time he came back, everyone was just happy to see their free meal again.
3. A neighborhood kid asked one day: ‘Why do people at RUSH Behavioral always seem so busy talking to their pets?’ An older gentleman overheard and smiled: ‘They’re not talking to their pets, sonny. They’re listening.’ Turns out, RUSH Behavioral helps animals too—with special programs for stressed-out dogs and cats. So next time you see someone chatting with their furry friend there, don’t be surprised—it’s just another way they help our community.
4. A delivery driver pulled up to RUSH Behavioral Medicine one afternoon with a puzzled expression on his face. He had just seen two nurses laughing so hard they were nearly falling off their chairs. Curious, he walked inside and overheard them giggling about some new patient who kept asking for ‘a cheeseburger with everything’—even though he was there for an anxiety disorder consultation. The nurses couldn’t stop laughing as they tried explaining that he’d mistakenly booked himself into the wrong building.
