About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an IU Health Primary Care patient muttered under her breath as she waited for her appointment: ‘I wonder if they ever clean between patients?’ That afternoon, during a routine cleaning, a nurse discovered something unexpected—a tiny, perfectly formed mustache on one of the examination tables. Later that week, another patient overheard a janitor whispering to his colleague: 'Did you see what I found in Dr. Smith’s office? It looks like someone left their facial hair behind!' The next day, an IU Health Primary Care doctor joked to a delivery driver, 'At least now our waiting room has character.'

2. In the waiting room of IU Health Primary Care, a small dog wandered in one afternoon, sniffing curiously around the reception desk. No one noticed him until he suddenly sat up and started barking at the ceiling. Everyone looked up just as an elderly woman walked in, smiling warmly. ‘Oh my,’ she said, pointing upward, ‘is that your little friend? He’s been visiting us every Wednesday for months now.’ The staff exchanged amused glances—apparently, everyone had their own story about the mysterious canine patient—but nobody minded. After all, it was nice having such a friendly presence in the waiting room.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to IU Health Primary Care with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Why is there a bicycle parked here?’ he asked aloud, pointing to something oddly placed outside. As it turned out, an enthusiastic cyclist had left their bike outside after dropping off some documents for a regular patient. The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Next time I'll know not to ask why there's a bicycle in front of a doctor's office!'

4. In the parking lot of IU Health Primary Care, a regular noticed something odd—a large cardboard box labeled ‘Free Samples’ had mysteriously appeared overnight. Inside were boxes of cereal, snacks, and even some puzzles. But who left it there? And why did they disappear before anyone could ask? Finally, someone brave approached the box and opened it. Inside was just one note: 'Sorry for the confusion—we’re from the local food bank, delivering our weekly surprise!' The next day, a regular saw a delivery driver waving cheerfully as he drove away with another mysterious box marked ‘Free Samples.’
