Optum Urgent Care

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, a little girl named Emma would run past Optum Urgent Care, clutching her teddy bear tightly. Her eyes widened every time she heard an unusual humming sound coming from inside. One evening, a delivery driver slowed down curiously and asked Emma if she was lost. With a big smile, she shook her head and whispered, ‘I’m just waiting for my mommy.’ The driver chuckled and said, ‘Next time, maybe you should wait outside McDonald’s across the street!’

2. At dawn, a delivery driver rushed through the parking lot, fumbling with his keys as he tried to unlock the van. Just then, the clinic door swung open, and an elderly gentleman in a bathrobe stepped out, waving a newspaper. ‘Morning!’ he called cheerfully. The driver jumped, almost dropping his keys, but then realized it was just Mr. Johnson from next door, who often dropped by for early-morning readings. They both laughed, and the day began with a smile.

3. At midnight, when the city slept and only emergency lights glowed faintly, a nurse at Optum Urgent Care noticed something strange in the waiting room. A small, shadowy figure kept appearing out of nowhere, sitting quietly in the corner, never speaking or moving. Curious, she approached it gently. The figure turned out to be an old teddy bear wrapped in a blanket, left behind by a child who had been treated earlier that evening. With a smile, she placed it on the counter with a note reading: ‘Thank you for taking care of us tonight.’

4. At sunset, an old man in a tweed jacket sat reading by the window of Optum Urgent Care. Suddenly, he noticed that every time he turned the page, the clock on the wall seemed to slow down just enough for him to catch the exact moment when the sun dipped below the horizon. Finally, as the last rays vanished, the old man closed his book and smiled. The receptionist, noticing his unusual behavior, asked if everything was okay. ‘Just another day watching time,’ he replied with a twinkle in his eye. And from then on, whenever someone mentioned Optum Urgent Care, they’d whisper, ‘That’s where the old guy who controls time hangs out.’
