About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet corner of UCHealth Urgent Care in Colorado Springs, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual medical supplies on the counter lay an old, dusty harmonica, its case engraved with mysterious symbols. Curious, the regular picked it up and started playing softly. Soon enough, other patients joined in—an elderly woman hummed along, a delivery driver sang off-key, and even the receptionist chimed in with her own tune. By lunchtime, the waiting room was filled with laughter and music, turning what was once just another urgent care center into a place where everyone felt like family.
2. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a strange humming sound would occasionally come from inside UCHealth Urgent Care. A delivery driver passing by swore it sounded like someone playing an old-fashioned organ. One night, a delivery driver heard the eerie music and pulled over curiously. As he approached, he saw a small, glowing orb floating near the entrance. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied softly, ‘Just my new intercom system, testing itself.’ Turned out, it was just a tech geek next door trying to impress his neighbors with state-of-the-art gadgets.
3. At dusk, while waiting for her mother inside the cozy lobby, little Emma pointed excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that painting look like it’s breathing?’ Their mother smiled gently and replied, ‘Honey, it’s just an old trick called “sfumato,” making shadows move.’ But as they left, a delivery driver passing by chuckled softly, muttering, “I guess some paintings never stop breathing around here.”
4. At closing time, when the last patient left UCHealth Urgent Care, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Do you think they close up those tiny rooms after hours?’ Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty beds and quiet hallways. Just as he was leaving, an old lady shuffled out, muttering something about her TV show being over too soon. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe both places had similar schedules—closing down just in time for everyone’s favorite late-night dramas.
