About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone in Knox County seem to know exactly when my truck is due?’ An elderly doctor leaned on his stethoscope and smiled: ‘They’ve been tracking your route for years—we even have a special chart!’ The delivery driver blinked, then laughed, realizing Knox County had just given him the best welcome he’d ever received.
2. In an ordinary waiting room of Knox County Health Department, a small boy pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered to his mom, ‘Look, Mom, it’s waving!’ His mother smiled patiently but glanced up just in time to see a nurse’s hat bobbing slightly from side to side. The mother laughed softly, covering her son’s mouth gently. ‘Hush now,’ she said, ‘it’s probably just Mrs. Jenkins adjusting her hat.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked around with wide eyes. A few moments later, an older gentleman coughed discreetly into his handkerchief, causing everyone to turn and giggle as he blushed.}
3. At the Knox County Health Department, a curious nurse asked one day: ‘Why do patients always leave here with such wide smiles?’ Another nurse overheard and giggled, replying, 'Because every time they come in for a routine check-up, they discover their insurance covers something they’ve been meaning to get.' The first nurse nodded knowingly as she watched an elderly gentleman leave, whistling happily.
4. In the quiet hallway of Knox County Health Department, a receptionist whispered to her colleague, 'I just saw someone sign up for their fifth flu shot using a library card.' Her colleague shook her head with a smile and replied, ‘Probably some old guy who forgot his insurance card again.’ They both laughed softly as another voice called from behind, ‘Hey, I’m not THAT forgetful—just my doctor’s office is closed today!’
