About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the parking lot was empty, a regular noticed something odd—a small dog kept returning to the same spot near the entrance. Each time it approached the door, its tail would wag furiously, as if trying to communicate with someone inside. Finally, one evening a concerned neighbor decided to follow the dog and saw him running into the staff entrance. Turned out, the little fellow was just delivering urgent messages from his owner—a night janitor who forgot his lunch passcard inside. Since then, everyone at MemorialCare calls him ‘the office mascot’.
2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a smile on his face. He’d just finished lunch and was humming a tune as he unloaded boxes into the dimly lit hallway of MemorialCare Medical Group. Suddenly, he heard an eerie whispering sound coming from behind him. The whispering grew louder, almost like someone was saying ‘hurry up!’ The delivery driver turned around and saw…nothing but shadows dancing in the fluorescent light. Shrugging it off, he quickly finished his task and left. Later that evening, while unpacking his truck, he found a note stuck inside his lunchbox: “Thanks for the quick service!” — signed simply, ‘A Neighbor.’
3. One morning, as a nurse was preparing for her shift, she heard an unusual voice over the intercom: ‘Is it just me, or does this place feel a little… different today?’ Curious, she followed the voice and found an elderly gentleman in the waiting room, holding his hat and smiling sheepishly. 'Probably just my imagination,' he said, adjusting his glasses. The nurse laughed, thinking nothing of it until another patient chimed in, 'Yep, I felt it too!' Turning around, they saw everyone nodding, grinning, and whispering about the strange sensation. That day, MemorialCare’s staff learned that sometimes, even in a clinic, a good joke can spread faster than any virus.
4. A doctor in white coat walked briskly through the hallway, muttering under his breath: ‘Why does every patient today come here with a different idea of what “memorial care” means?’ Just then, an elderly gentleman shuffled into the waiting room, muttering, 'I thought MemorialCare meant they’d remember my appointment!' A delivery driver rolled his eyes and said, 'Next time, maybe you should just say you're coming for a check-up?' The doctor stopped mid-stride and grinned, shaking his head.
