About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked outside Novant Health and noticed something odd—a small dog kept staring intently at the entrance. Curious, he approached only to see the pup’s eyes fixed on an old poster inside the clinic's window. Upon closer inspection, the driver saw that the poster was advertising free coffee for patients. Smiling, he realized the little guy must be a coffee enthusiast in disguise. The next day, everyone at the clinic got a surprise visit from a tiny, well-dressed pooch carrying a travel mug.

2. Late one night, an on-call doctor heard a strange humming coming from behind the clinic's boiler room. Curious, he investigated only to discover it was caused by a neighboring beehive that had taken up residence. As he approached, the hum grew louder—almost like a tiny orchestra warming up for its concert. The doctor cautiously opened the door and found himself face-to-face with hundreds of industrious bees diligently working their hive. Startled but amused, he quietly closed the door again and decided not to disturb them. From then on, whenever anyone asked why there were no patients during odd hours, the staff would wink knowingly and whisper, ‘Probably in the bee meeting.’

3. In the early hours of dawn, a nurse making her rounds smelled something peculiar—an aroma like freshly baked cookies wafting through the corridors. She followed it down the hall, curious, until she found its source: a quiet room where a patient lay sleeping peacefully. Curious, she leaned closer and noticed that an elderly gentleman next door was quietly humming ‘Home on the Range,’ holding a plate of actual cookies he must’ve brought for his breakfast. Turns out, the whole hospital had been enjoying his secret midnight baking sessions ever since.

4. In the middle of the night, a worried neighbor called the emergency number after hearing unusual noises coming from inside Novant Health. When paramedics arrived, they found nothing out of the ordinary—except for the sign above the entrance that read, ‘Emergency Services Available: Please Wait Patiently Inside.’ As the paramedics looked around puzzled, an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair waved them over and said cheerfully, 'Just waiting for my routine check-up, boys!' Turns out it was a regular who always came here on odd hours for his favorite nurse's attention.
