About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet hallway of Cone Health MedCenter Greensboro at Drawbridge Parkway, a delivery driver once found an old, dusty harmonica nestled among the medical supplies. No one claimed it, and ever since, on certain afternoons, you might hear soft notes drifting from that corner. One day, an elderly neighbor came in for a check-up and started humming along with the harmonica’s melody. The doctor asked him where he learned such a tune, and the neighbor replied, ‘Why, I just made it up—same way I make my weekly pot roast!’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the harmonica became part of the clinic’s charm, drawing more patients than any marketing campaign could.
2. In the waiting room of Cone Health MedCenter Greensboro at Drawbridge Parkway, a small child pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mommy, why is that lady’s shadow dancing?’ The mother smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, it’s not a lady—it’s just our reflection in the big mirror up there.’ The child nodded thoughtfully before turning back to his coloring book, leaving both mom and the other patients in the waiting room with a warm, amused smile. In the corner, an elderly gentleman muttered to himself, ‘Guess I’ll never look at those mirrors the same way again.’
3. In the waiting room of Cone Health MedCenter Greensboro at Drawbridge Parkway, a small dog named Max kept staring at the ceiling. No one else noticed until he started barking at something invisible, causing several patients to look up curiously. Finally, someone asked Max what he saw. With a proud bark, Max pointed his paw towards an air vent and whispered, ‘A squirrel!’ The whole room burst into laughter, realizing that sometimes even the most serious places can use a little canine humor.
4. In the waiting room of Cone Health MedCenter Greensboro at Drawbridge Parkway, an elderly gentleman dozed off in his wheelchair. Suddenly, the intercom crackled to life with a deep voice announcing, ‘Attention all patients and staff: please be advised that our coffee machine has been brewing non-stop for three days straight.’ A young nurse, hearing the announcement, burst into laughter and said, 'I’ll go check on it!' She returned moments later with a big smile, explaining, 'It’s just our new delivery driver—can’t seem to stop filling the coffee pot.' The old man woke up with a startled expression but soon joined everyone else in a hearty laugh.
