About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a strange package. As he walked through the parking lot, a small dog barked furiously from behind a bush, pointing its nose towards the center's entrance. The driver shrugged it off until he opened the package and found himself staring into the curious eyes of a miniature pony. The driver blinked several times before noticing the tiny creature’s cute little hooves peeking out from under the box. With a shrug, he called over one of the nurses who happened to be passing by. ‘Hey, you might want to see this,’ he said with a smile. The nurse burst out laughing when she saw the miniature pony trotting around the lobby, quickly earning Valley Pediatric & Specialty Center some unexpected fame as the place where ponies deliver babies.’

2. In the quiet hallway of Valley Pediatric & Specialty Center, a nurse noticed something peculiar one afternoon. A faint humming sound, like an old record player left on, echoed down the corridor. Curious patients and staff glanced around, trying to locate its source. As she followed the sound, she found it coming from an old cabinet in the corner. Inside was an ancient Walkman, its headphones dangling loosely. Turns out, someone had forgotten it there years ago. Now, every day, during that exact time, the Walkman would mysteriously turn itself on, playing a never-ending loop of '80s hits. The hospital became known for its unexpected musical interludes, delighting both patients and staff alike.

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a familiar van pulled up outside Valley Pediatric & Specialty Center. Its driver, a regular seen around town, hopped out and started carrying boxes into the building—boxes that seemed suspiciously heavy for an ordinary supply run. Suddenly, from inside came a muffled voice: ‘Hey, can you sign here? I’m running low on stamps!’ Turned out it was just the doctor’s secretary, ordering more post-it notes. The boxes were filled with stickers.

4. At breakfast one morning, a doctor exclaimed, ‘I just saw something odd!’ His colleague asked, ‘What?’ The first replied, ‘A patient’s toy dinosaur followed me right out of the examination room!’ Another day, another adventure. A delivery driver walked in, complaining, ‘My package is late again!’ The doctor teased, ‘Maybe your package got distracted by all the colorful toys here.’ Turns out, it was a regular who kept coming back for his favorite toy truck!
