About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Erlanger North Cleveland Clinic with an urgent package. ‘I hope they’re awake,’ he muttered, ‘or I’ll be here until dawn!’ Just as he was about to knock, he heard a voice from inside: 'Delivery for Dr. Smith?' It turned out that someone had ordered a cake for their birthday celebration. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it must be a regular who forgot to mention the party. As he handed over the cake, he wished them a happy birthday and left, feeling good about his unexpected role in making someone’s night special.

2. In the dead of night, an ER nurse heard an unusual sound coming from the old boiler room. Peering inside, she saw a shadowy figure adjusting ancient dials and muttering something about 'balancing energies'. Curious, she followed the figure and found an elderly volunteer tinkering with the boiler’s thermostat. ‘Just making sure everything runs smoothly,’ he whispered, smiling. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe Erlanger needed an energy expert—until they realized it was just Grandpa Harold, the neighborhood handyman.’

3. Late one afternoon, a curious smell wafted through the halls of Erlanger North Cleveland Clinic. Nurses and doctors sniffed the air, trying to identify the source. Was it lunchtime in the cafeteria, or something more unusual? As they followed the scent, they found it was coming from the staff break room—where a friendly delivery driver had left a batch of freshly baked cookies. The entire hospital staff indulged in a sweet surprise, and everyone agreed that Erlanger North Cleveland Clinic would never forget the day their cookie delivery went awry.

4. Late one autumn afternoon, as patients were settling in for their treatments, someone noticed an unexpected visitor: a small herd of deer had wandered into the clinic's garden. As it turned out, these weren't just any ordinary deer—they seemed more curious than dangerous. Before anyone could react, one particularly bold fawn approached the glass doors leading inside, its little nose almost touching the pane. A nearby nurse, noticing the commotion, calmly opened the door and whispered, 'Welcome, little ones!' Soon enough, the deer were munching on some snacks brought by a kind delivery driver while everyone else watched from behind the safety of the windows.
