About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Greene County Health Department with an unusual package. The receptionist’s eyes widened as she unwrapped it: inside was a live parrot chirping ‘Next!’ The next morning, everyone in the waiting room laughed out loud when the parrot greeted them cheerfully: 'Next!' It became such a hit that soon after, patients started bringing their own birds for entertainment. Now, whenever someone mentions Greene County Health Department, people remember not just the excellent care but also the little feathered friend who taught everyone to wait patiently.
2. At closing time, when the last patient had left, an old cat appeared on the clinic's porch. It walked straight into the reception area and jumped onto the counter, staring intently at the closed till drawer. Then, without a sound, it opened the drawer with its paw and took out a single dollar bill, leaving behind a note that read: 'Payment for services rendered.' The next morning, everyone found out the cat was Greene County’s unofficial mascot.
3. At lunchtime, when everyone else was busy eating their sandwiches, a voice called out from the waiting room: ‘Hey, doctor—do you know what they found in the freezer?’ The doctor paused mid-patient and cocked an eyebrow. 'No,' he said with a smile. 'But I hear there's some interesting old records in there.' A delivery driver chimed in, grinning broadly, 'Yep, and one of them's got a note saying “Do Not Eat.”' Everyone burst into laughter, including the doctor, who shook his head and went back to work.
4. At breakfast time, when nurses were preparing for the day’s appointments, a mysterious note appeared on the clinic door. It read: ‘Today is your lucky day—no sick people allowed!’ Soon enough, everyone in Greene County started showing up at the clinic—healthy as could be. The nurses, puzzled but happy, spent the whole morning playing cards and chatting. By lunchtime, their supervisor arrived, curious about the empty waiting room. She opened the door to find a note scribbled in marker: 'Sorry ladies, our bad luck ran out early.'
