About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside UCHealth Palliative Care and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from the building's ventilation shaft. Curious but not alarmed, he parked his truck and walked closer, only to catch a whiff of something sweet and strange—like freshly baked cookies mixed with lavender. As he peered inside, he saw nothing unusual—a dimly lit hallway and a faint glow from an open door down the corridor. Just then, a friendly voice called out: 'Hey there! Can you smell that? Our new aromatherapy machine is on the fritz!' Turns out, it was just a neighbor testing out their latest invention. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, thinking to himself, ‘Next time I’ll stick to delivering packages!’
2. One day, an elderly gentleman visited UCHealth Palliative Care for a routine check-up. As he waited in the lobby, he struck up a conversation with another patient who kept glancing out the window. Curious, they both peered together and saw… nothing but empty parking lot. Yet every time they looked again, there it was—a tiny little dog trotting around, wagging its tail. As they watched, the little dog approached a nearby bench where an older gentleman dozed off after his appointment. The dog trotted over, sat down next to him, and began gently nudging his leg until he woke up. Turns out, the old guy was just catching some zzz’s before heading home—completely unaware that he’d been napping on the park bench outside UCHealth Palliative Care.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside UCHealth Palliative Care and found something peculiar in his truck—a small, colorful bird had somehow stowed away during the delivery. The little bird chirped frantically as the puzzled delivery driver tried to figure out what to do next. A kind nurse from inside noticed the commotion and came running out with some seeds, cooing gently. Together they managed to calm the tiny passenger down, and soon enough it flew off into the bright Colorado sky. Word spread quickly around town that day—UCHealth’s latest patient was a feathered friend who’d clearly been on an unexpected adventure.
4. One autumn afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside UCHealth Palliative Care and saw a small dog trotting towards him, its tail wagging furiously. The dog stopped abruptly, sniffed the air, then looked up with wide eyes and started barking excitedly. The delivery driver smiled, bent down, and picked up the friendly canine. ‘Who’s a good boy?’ he cooed, scratching behind the little fellow’s ears. Just then, an elderly nurse appeared from around the corner, laughing gently. ‘Oh, hello there,’ she said warmly. ‘This little fella is our resident greeter—always knows when someone important is arriving.’
