About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At UMC Primary Care one morning, a nurse announced over the intercom that the receptionist had just seen a ghostly figure in the hallway. Since then, employees claim they’ve heard strange whispers and doors closing on their own. One day, an elderly lady came in for her check-up. As she was leaving, she turned to the doctor and whispered, ‘I saw your ghost earlier.’ The doctor looked puzzled but said calmly, ‘Ma’am, I’m very much alive—just ask my receptionist!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned the ghosts, everyone would joke that maybe it was just an old patient who hadn’t quite left yet.

2. At UMC Primary Care, during an afternoon check-up, a little girl pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mommy, look, it’s dancing!’ The doctor looked up and saw nothing but ordinary tiles. Was she imagining things—or had something unusual just happened? The doctor leaned closer, trying to see what might be causing the child’s fascination. Just then, another patient called out from across the hallway, ‘Hey doc, my blood pressure is going nuts again!’ With a smile, the doctor turned back to the little girl and said gently, ‘It seems you’ve got quite the imagination there.’ And so, the mystery of the dancing ceiling tiles remained unsolved—until next time someone needed a routine checkup.

3. At UMC Primary Care, while a doctor was explaining test results to a worried patient, a delivery driver walked in and loudly asked for directions to the nearest coffee shop. The doctor paused mid-sentence, glanced up with an amused smile and said, ‘Excuse me, but I’m pretty sure you’re standing in it.’ The delivery driver sheepishly nodded and left, muttering something about needing more coffee before work. The patient relaxed and laughed, realizing everything was fine after all.

4. At UMC Primary Care, on a quiet weekday morning, a delivery driver parked his truck and noticed something unusual in the loading dock area—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. The delivery driver picked up the box curiously but decided against opening it himself. He went inside and mentioned it to one of the nurses. Together they called security, who carefully took the package away for inspection. Later that day, an embarrassed voice from HR announced over the intercom: 'A neighbor must’ve left their Christmas present here!' Everyone laughed, and life at UMC Primary Care returned to normal—except now everyone was more careful about leaving packages behind.
