About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an Intermountain Healthcare nurse heard a strange humming sound coming from the empty hallway. Curious but not alarmed, she followed it down the corridor until she found its source—a small lamp flickering with an eerie green glow. As she approached, the lamp revealed a tiny green alien wearing scrubs and holding a stethoscope. ‘I’m just checking on my patients,’ it said in a high-pitched voice. The nurse laughed, realizing it was only a malfunctioning LED bulb. From then on, whenever someone saw the glowing light, they’d joke that Intermountain had hired a new night-time intern from outer space.’

2. One morning, while a delivery driver was dropping off supplies, he noticed something odd on the clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention all patients and staff—your health is our top priority, but please bring your own band-aids today.’ Curious, the delivery driver mentioned it to his coworkers that afternoon. By evening, word had spread throughout the neighborhood: 'Bring your own band-aids!' Soon enough, people started showing up with boxes of different sizes and shapes. The next day, everyone arrived laughing—some even brought homemade ones decorated with stickers or jokes. It became an annual tradition, and Intermountain Clinic gained a quirky reputation as the place where healing really meant having fun.

3. Late one night, an Intermountain Healthcare doctor was closing up when he heard a soft whistling sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, he turned around and saw only a small pile of balloons left there by a smiling little girl. ‘I hope your day gets better,’ she whispered as she ran out the door. The doctor shook his head with a smile, thinking maybe her wish would come true after all.

4. Late one night, an Intermountain Healthcare receptionist was finishing her shift when she heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your smiley face badges to the front desk before leaving.’ Curious, she looked around but saw no one. Smiling uncertainly, she did as instructed and placed the little badge in its slot. Suddenly, the lights flickered, and a deep voice echoed through the empty hallway: 'And don’t forget to wish everyone you meet a good day!' Turning quickly, she found herself facing only a shadowed corner—until a friendly voice from behind said, “Hey, thanks for keeping our place bright!”
