A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the late afternoon, when the Neighborhood Health Clinic in Oxford was quieting down for the day, an old man wheeled his shopping cart through the parking lot. Suddenly, his little dog started barking furiously at something invisible behind the clinic's fence. The old man's puzzled expression turned into a smile as he realized what his dog was after—a stray squirrel scurrying between the trees. With a gentle pat on his pet’s head, he said, 'Come on, boy, let's go home and get you some treats!'
2. In the late afternoon, when the Neighborhood Health Clinic in Oxford was quieting down, a regular noticed something strange coming from the back room. A soft humming sound, like an old record player playing in reverse, grew louder with each passing minute. Curious, the regular tiptoed closer and saw an elderly volunteer, busily humming along as he carefully rewound old vinyl records. Turns out, the clinic had started collecting donations of vintage music for patients’ relaxation, and no one told anyone but him. The humming stopped abruptly when the volunteer realized his audience. ‘Oh,’ he said sheepishly, ‘just helping our patients relax between appointments.’
3. In the late afternoon, when the Neighborhood Health Clinic in Oxford was quieting down, an elderly gentleman arrived with a mysterious package under his arm. He whispered something about ‘special herbs’ and a ‘cure for everything.’ Nurses exchanged puzzled glances but went about their routine until one day he didn’t show up again. Finally, after weeks of waiting, someone asked him where those special herbs were from. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Why, they’re grown right here in our very own clinic garden!' Turned out it was just parsley and thyme—nothing more than a friendly neighborhood prank.
4. In the late afternoon, when the Neighborhood Health Clinic in Oxford was quieting down, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he pulled up to the loading dock, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty waiting room. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only an old teddy bear wobbling on its perch. With a laugh, he shook his head and thought, ‘Probably just that bear making funny noises again.’ Heading back to his truck, he mumbled, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own patient—maybe it’s lonely in there!’
