About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Baptist Health Southwest and exclaimed, 'I’m pretty sure I just saw someone turn into a pillar of salt!' The nurse on duty shook her head and smiled, ‘Must’ve been the new security camera.’ Later that week, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had seen anything unusual. The nurse laughed and replied, 'Only our delivery guy, who insists he saw someone turning into salt.' The neighbor nodded wisely, 'Ah, must be those new LED lights they installed—can play tricks on your eyes.'

2. Late one night, an exhausted nurse was finishing her shift when she heard a strange noise coming from outside the clinic's supply closet. Curious, she peeked inside and saw only boxes of bandages and syringes. But then, out of nowhere, a voice whispered, ‘Got any aspirin?’ Turns out it was just a delivery driver with a headache. They shared a laugh, and he left with his painkillers—and a new friend in the unlikely form of a night-shift nurse.’

3. One morning, a sleepy doctor asked the receptionist, ‘Did you hear that strange noise coming from the parking lot?’ The receptionist yawned and replied, 'No, doc, I didn’t.' They both peered out the window just in time to see a delivery driver trying to herd three confused goats into his van. The doctor shook his head and muttered, 'Must be their breakfast special today!'

4. One foggy morning, a curious patient arrived early for his appointment. As he walked through the quiet hallway, he overheard two nurses whispering about something unusual happening in the staff kitchen. Curious, he tiptoed closer and saw an elderly delivery driver trying to open a jar of cookies. One nurse offered him a stepladder, while another suggested calling maintenance. The whole scene was so comical that our intrepid patient burst out laughing, drawing everyone’s attention—and leaving them all wondering why anyone would bring cookies to a hospital at seven in the morning.
