About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly doctor whispered to his colleague, 'Did you see that strange shadow in the operating room last night?' His friend shook his head and replied, ‘No, I didn’t.’ They both shrugged it off as a figment of imagination. Later that day, while preparing for another surgery, the old doc asked a delivery driver if he’d seen anything unusual. The driver grinned and said, “Nah, doc, just your shadow on the ceiling again.” Everyone laughed, and from then on, they called him ‘Shadow Man’ around the hospital.

2. At dawn, when most hospitals are quiet, a nurse noticed something unusual in the parking lot of UCHealth Medical Surgery. A delivery driver kept arriving early with mysterious packages, always leaving before anyone else arrived. Curious, she followed him one morning and saw him deliver not supplies, but donuts—freshly baked, still warm—to every doctor’s office! Turned out he was just an enthusiastic local, making sure everyone started their day sweetly.

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside UCHealth Medical Surgery with a puzzled look on his face. The hospital’s neon sign had flickered into an unfamiliar pattern—an eerie mix of red and blue lights dancing like a slow-motion disco. As he approached the entrance, a voice from inside called out, ‘Hey, delivery guy! Your order is ready!’ Startled, the driver looked around but saw no one. Shrugging it off as a prank, he went in only to find everyone calmly working. Later that night, while recounting the story, a nurse whispered, “It was just our new AI receptionist trying to be friendly.” Everyone laughed, relieved that the strange light show wasn’t anything serious.

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside UCHealth Medical Surgery with a frown on his face. As he approached the entrance, he noticed a small dog trotting towards him, its eyes wide and curious. The dog stopped abruptly, sniffed the air, then looked back at the building with what seemed like a knowing smile. The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled. ‘Hey,’ he whispered to the dog, ‘do you know where I can find Dr. Smith?’ The little pooch tilted its head, then trotted over to a nearby bench and sat down, waiting expectantly. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked out, rubbing sleep from his eyes. ‘Morning, neighbor!’ he said cheerfully. ‘That’s my dog, Max,’ he added with a laugh. ‘He knows everyone in town.’
