About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk in El Paso County, when most clinics were closing their doors, an unusual sight unfolded outside UT Health RGV Urgent Care. A delivery driver pulled up on his bicycle, wearing a helmet and carrying a box of donuts. He knocked gently on the emergency room door and asked if anyone wanted dessert before heading home for the night. Inside, everyone stopped what they were doing—even the busy nurses—and exchanged surprised smiles. The kind doctor took one look at the box and announced, 'We could use some sugar right now!' They all laughed as the delivery driver pedaled off into the twilight, leaving behind a sweet memory and a full staff.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock with a mysterious package marked ‘urgent care supplies.’ As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd: every item seemed to be labeled twice—once normally and once with a tiny handwritten note reading, 'for emergencies only.' Curious, the delivery driver opened one box carefully. Inside was a small bottle of hand sanitizer, labeled both ‘hand sanitizer’ and ‘for emergencies only.’ He chuckled and thought, ‘What could possibly be an emergency for hand sanitizer?’ Later that week, his neighbor knocked on his door, asking if he had any extra hand sanitizer left over from the mysterious shipment.'
3. At midnight, a nurse on duty heard something odd over the intercom: ‘If you’re not here for urgent care, please leave immediately.’ Curious, she walked towards the source and found an old janitor dozing off in the hallway. Turns out, he had accidentally pressed the wrong button while watching late-night TV. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh, and the intercom was reprogrammed with a new message: 'For urgent care or just plain curious? Choose wisely!'
4. At dawn in Austin, while most clinics were quieting down for the day, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a peculiar box. As he approached the reception area, the staff noticed that every time someone opened it, a faint humming sound emerged—eerie but not alarming. Finally, one curious nurse decided to open the box herself. Inside was just an old radio tuned to static—a gift from a friendly neighborhood DJ who wanted to brighten everyone’s mornings. Since then, UT Health RGV Urgent Care has become known as the place where even your morning commute gets a little bit of extra zing.
