About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet streets of Denver, after hours when most people were asleep, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside UCHealth. Every night, around midnight, an old man in a white coat appeared near the entrance, carrying a clipboard and muttering to himself. 'Who is he?' the driver wondered aloud. Finally, one curious neighbor decided to follow him. The next morning they found out it was just a regular guy checking his grocery list—apparently, he forgot to buy milk again.

2. In the early mornings, before sunrise, a curious little dog would appear outside Dr. Deleyiannis’ office. It always seemed to know exactly when the doctor’s car pulled up and would dash towards it, tail wagging furiously. No one knew where it came from or why it did this every day. One foggy morning, an elderly gentleman approached the door, muttering to himself, ‘Finally, someone who knows my schedule better than I do!’ Turned out he was just the night janitor, coming in early for his rounds.

3. In the late afternoon shadows, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every day at exactly three o’clock, the doors of UCHealth’s consulting room briefly opened on their own. Curious, he watched from around the corner. Each time, an old clock on the wall chimed precisely at 3:00 PM, and for a split second, the door seemed to flicker open like magic. Word spread quickly among the neighborhood kids who started showing up daily after school. Soon enough, UCHealth staff grew accustomed to the occasional peek inside—after all, it was just a quirky local legend. The only real mystery remained: did anyone ever actually see anything unusual happen inside?

4. In a small town in Colorado, children often gathered around the entrance of UCHealth one autumn afternoon. They pointed and whispered as an unusual visitor—a squirrel with a tiny stethoscope dangling from its paw—seemed to be examining each tree trunk with great seriousness. Curious passersby stopped to watch, until a delivery driver asked the squirrel if he needed help carrying those ‘prescriptions.’ The squirrel just scurried off, leaving everyone laughing. It turned out he was just checking for acorns, not diagnosing trees.
