About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the waiting room of Scott County Health Department, a little girl pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mama, look! The doctor’s office is talking to us!’ The mother leaned up and peered closely, then laughed softly. ‘Honey,’ she said gently, ‘that’s just an old poster for flu shots. It talks to everyone who comes here.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as another voice from above announced, ‘And don’t forget your annual check-up!’

2. In the early morning, a delivery driver arrived at the Scott County Health Department with an unusual package. As he approached the reception desk, he noticed a small dog peeking out from under the box. The receptionist took one look and said, ‘Oh no, not again!’ Turned out it was Fluffy, the neighborhood stray who liked hiding in packages. The delivery driver laughed and left, promising to keep his eyes open next time. Inside, everyone shook their heads and went back to work—another day at the Scott County Health Department.

3. In the early morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Scott County Health Department. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd on the pavement—a small, dusty jar labeled ‘Herbs for Healing.’ Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can’t use.’ The delivery driver shrugged and took a handful of herbs, thinking nothing of it. Later that day, while making tea, he discovered they tasted like licorice—and made him sing softly to himself. His neighbors thought it was strange until one started humming along, and soon enough, everyone in town knew the Scott County Health Department had a secret herb garden that sang when brewed.

4. In the middle of the night, a neighbor knocked on the door of the health department, whispering urgently, ‘Do you know what they say happens here when it’s quiet?’ The receptionist whispered back, ‘They say that if you come in dead silent, they’ll give you a free flu shot!’ The neighbor cracked a smile and said, ‘Guess I’ll wait until tomorrow morning then.’
