A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to UI Health 55th & Pulaski and noticed something strange. The neon sign above the entrance kept flickering on and off in time with the hospital’s heartbeat monitor. Curious, he walked inside just as the nurse called out a patient's name—‘Mr. Johnson!’ The driver looked around nervously but soon realized everyone was too busy to notice him. Feeling daring, he asked one of the nurses for directions to the bathroom. ‘Follow your heartbeats,’ she said, pointing towards the hallway. Exiting the restroom, he found himself standing right next to the neon sign, which now read: “UI Health: Delivery Driver Special.” He quickly left, never to return again, except maybe for another late-night snack.

Curious neighbors peeked out their windows, wondering if it was coming from inside the clinic or just floating in from somewhere beyond. As the driver stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—a small light on the clinic’s roof flickered on and off like a mischievous wink. Just then, a friendly voice called from behind him: ‘Hey there, delivery man! That’s our new security lamp.’ A neighbor emerged from her porch, smiling warmly. ‘Don’t mind us,’ she added, ‘we’re just testing out the latest upgrade!’
3. Early one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to UI Health 55th & Pulaski with an unusual package. As he approached the door, the receptionist asked him, ‘What on earth is that?’ He replied, ‘Just some special-order bandages for Dr. Smith.’ As the driver opened the box, out popped dozens of colorful bandaids in shapes of animals and stars. The receptionist laughed, saying, 'Dr. Smith must be having a themed party!' To which the driver shrugged, smiling sheepishly, 'Nah, just his kid's birthday.' Everyone had a good laugh, and life at UI Health went back to normal—with a little extra cheer.

In the dimly lit hallway, he noticed something odd—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, sitting on a bench near the entrance. Curious, he picked it up and saw only a note inside reading: ‘For the best doctor’s advice, open me.’ Inside was a bag of frozen peas. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had mistaken him for her grandson and sent over some late-night comfort.}
