A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Carlos Rene & Raquel G. Ramirez WIC Clinic and Health Center. A small bird kept flying in circles around the parking lot, as if searching for something it had lost. Curious, he followed its flight path and found an old key dangling from a branch. Thinking it might belong to someone inside, he quietly opened the clinic’s door. Inside, everyone was still asleep—except for one nurse who’d left her favorite pen on the counter. The bird turned out to be just a curious neighborhood sparrow, and the whole incident became known as ‘the day the clinic got unlocked by a delivery driver and a lost key.’

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver heard soft whispers coming from inside the clinic's waiting room. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw a small child giggling as she played with a colorful stethoscope left behind on the examination table. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe it was just an imaginative kid having fun. Later that day, when he came back for another delivery, he found a note stuck under his windshield wiper: ‘Thank you for visiting our little clinic today! Please come again.’ Signed simply, ‘Raquel G. Ramirez, MD’.
