About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At closing time one day, an OHSU Hillsboro Pharmacy employee overheard a delivery driver whispering into his phone, ‘I’ll be right there—just need to grab something first.’ Curious, the pharmacist followed him outside and found him rummaging through a nearby bush. Turns out he was after a stray lollipop his kid had dropped earlier. The embarrassed delivery driver quickly paid for it with a smile, and they both went their separate ways—leaving behind a small pile of abandoned candy wrappers.
2. In the late afternoon, a young boy walked into the OHSU Hillsboro Pharmacy with a puzzled look on his face. He approached the counter and asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does your medicine cabinet have a sign that says “Open only during daylight hours”?’ The pharmacist smiled gently and replied, 'Son, that's because our medicines are sensitive to light.' The boy nodded thoughtfully before asking, 'So why don't you just keep them in the dark then?' The pharmacist laughed softly, 'Because, smart kid, if we did that, how would anyone know when it's time for their next pill?'
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the OHSU Hillsboro Pharmacy and noticed something odd—a small dog peering curiously through the window. The delivery driver smiled and opened the door for the little fellow, who bounded inside with a wagging tail. Turns out it was just a neighborhood puppy on an adventure. The pharmacist shook his head and said, ‘Another late-night visitor, I guess.’ And so began their unofficial midnight patrol of Hillsboro.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the OHSU Hillsboro Pharmacy. The air was suddenly filled with a strange, sweet scent—a smell like freshly baked cookies wafting from nowhere. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Just as he reached for his package, a friendly voice called out from inside: ‘Hey, can you grab us another dozen while you’re here?’ A neighborhood grandmother appeared in the doorway, waving a cookie tin. The driver laughed and shook his head, delivering both medicine and treats that night.
