About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their treatments, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your chemotherapy might be delayed today due to an unusual surge in positive energy.’ A delivery driver arrived with a box labeled ‘Happy Thoughts’ and explained it was part of a new experimental treatment protocol. Before long, laughter filled the waiting room, and soon enough, everyone’s chemo started on time—just like magic.
2. In the quiet hallway of Highlands Oncology Group, a steady humming sound began drifting through the air one afternoon. At first, no one noticed—it blended with the usual background noise. But then, one curious patient asked another: 'Did you hear that?' Soon enough, everyone in the waiting room was listening intently. Turned out it was just an old delivery driver whistling while he waited for his package. Someone joked that maybe he was practicing for a future career as a hospital mascot—after all, who wouldn’t feel better hearing happy tunes instead of beeping machines?
3. In the dead of night, when the streets around Highlands Oncology Group were silent and empty, a faint whiff of freshly brewed coffee started wafting through the air. Curious, an overnight security guard followed the scent to the staff room, where he found only an open window and a note reading: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience—we moved our coffee maker next door.’
4. In the middle of the afternoon, a familiar voice called out from behind the reception desk: 'Your chemotherapy is ready—just one minute!' But instead of the usual beep or buzz, it was accompanied by the soft tinkling of bells. A puzzled patient turned around and saw no one there but heard the sound again—a tiny bell on the nurse’s hat. ‘What are you up to?’ she asked with a smile. The nurse shrugged and said, “Just trying to make chemo more festive.” And so, for the rest of the week, every time someone came in for treatment, they’d hear little bells chiming softly in the background.
