About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached UC Health’s loading dock, he swore he heard faint whispers coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he caught a strange scent of freshly baked cookies wafting down the hallway. As he followed the smell, he found himself in a cozy kitchen filled with rows of smiling cookie cutters and an old lady humming softly. ‘These are for our staff,’ she said, noticing him for the first time. Embarrassed, the delivery driver quickly left, never mentioning what he’d seen. But ever since then, everyone jokes that UC Health bakes their own cookies!’

2. In the early morning hours, a sleepy doctor glanced out the window of UC Health's Community Education Center and saw something peculiar. A small dog, its fur standing on end, frantically sniffed around the parking lot, as if following an invisible trail. Curious, the doctor stepped outside. The little dog led them both to a dumpster, where a worried delivery driver was trying to figure out what had spilled. Turns out, it was just some misplaced coffee beans. The dog finally relaxed, licked its paws, and trotted off into the dawn, leaving everyone with a smile.

3. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything in sight, an elderly neighbor shuffled past the brightly lit windows of UC Health's lobby. Curious about the warmth inside, she noticed something unusual—an old clock on the wall seemed to move backwards. Smiling at her own curiosity, she decided to investigate further. As she approached the reception desk, a friendly nurse asked if she needed assistance. With a twinkle in her eye, the neighbor replied, 'Just checking if your clocks run backward or forward!' The nurse laughed and said, ‘They’re just a little quirky today.’

4. One chilly autumn day, a regular patient asked the receptionist, ‘Why does it smell like cookies every time I come here?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Actually, it's not cookies at all—our friendly doctor bakes bread for his morning toast!' The patient laughed heartily, realizing that sometimes life's little mysteries are best left unsolved.
