About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the Arthritis Center of Nebraska and noticed an unusual sight: an elderly gentleman hobbling out with two canes, but carrying what looked like a freshly delivered pizza box under one arm. ‘I guess arthritis doesn’t stop you from getting your slice,’ he muttered, smiling. As the old man walked away, another delivery driver approached him curiously. 'Hey, did you order a pizza?' he asked. The gentleman turned around, still leaning on his canes, and replied cheerfully, 'No son, I ordered arthritis relief, but they must’ve sent me pizza instead!'

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the Arthritis Center of Nebraska with a curious expression on his face. As he approached the reception desk, he asked the nurse if they had recently received any unusual deliveries. She shook her head, but then noticed something odd in his shopping cart—a small, brightly colored plastic dinosaur. The nurse smiled and said, 'No sir, nothing out of the ordinary.' Just then, another patient wheeled himself past, carrying a toy fire truck. The old man nodded knowingly and whispered, 'Ah, I see. They must’ve delivered toys today!' Everyone laughed, including the nurse, who thought maybe arthritis wasn’t his only ailment—senior moments perhaps?'

3. One afternoon, a little girl followed her mother into the Arthritis Center of Nebraska. As they passed the reception desk, she stopped suddenly and pointed. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why do those statues look like they’re dancing?’ The mother smiled and said gently, 'Honey, they're not dancing—those are just our friendly receptionists taking a break.' The little girl giggled and ran over to wave at them, thinking it was the most fun thing she'd ever seen.

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a jogger passing by the Arthritis Center of Nebraska noticed something peculiar: the parking lot lights were on full blast, as if someone had forgotten to turn them off. Curious, the jogger peered inside and saw only a sleepy receptionist dozing behind the desk. ‘Good morning!’ she yawned, not even realizing her shift hadn’t started yet. The sun was just rising, and everyone else in town was still catching zzz’s—except for one overzealous light bulb that refused to go to bed.
