About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone in this health center always seem so cheerfully lost?’ A friendly nurse overheard and smiled: ‘Oh, they’re not lost—just following our secret wellness program. We send them on treasure hunts around the building!’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly as he left, thinking to himself, ‘Must be nice having such an entertaining place for sickies.’

2. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, an elderly man arrived early with his walking stick. Every day he sat in the same corner, watching the nurses prepare for another busy shift. But one morning, as they set up their equipment, he started humming an old tune that no one recognized. As the nurse approached him curiously, he stopped humming and asked if anyone needed help fetching coffee from the vending machine. Turned out, he was just a friendly neighborhood retiree who loved keeping everyone company during their morning routine.

3. At night, after hours of silence, a mysterious voice crackled over the clinic’s intercom: ‘Please be advised, our coffee machine has developed an unusual preference for late-night visits.’ One evening, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was a prank. He answered back: 'Coffee? We’re delivering insulin!' The next morning, everyone in the clinic had a new nickname for him—‘Mr. Late-Night Brew.’

4. At midnight, when the city slept, a faint humming sound echoed through the empty corridors of Hubert H. Humphrey Comprehensive Health Center. A night janitor stopped, puzzled, and followed it to the old elevator shaft. As he peered down, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled into view, muttering about noisy elevators. The janitor laughed, realizing the hum was just the driver’s truck idling outside. He shook his head and muttered, ‘Another urban legend born tonight.’
