About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually warm winter morning when a Kaiser Permanente nurse noticed something peculiar in the parking lot. A delivery driver kept arriving early, leaving behind boxes wrapped in strange patterns and symbols. Curious, she followed him one day and found out he was delivering colorful boxes filled with handmade cookies for patients’ kids. Turns out, it was his way of brightening up their visits. The legend spread quickly among neighbors who started bringing homemade treats too—turning Kaiser Permanente into a place where even the parking lot had a sweet surprise waiting.
2. It was a typical Thursday afternoon when a Kaiser Permanente receptionist overheard a strange announcement on the intercom: ‘Attention please—if you’re waiting for Mr. Smith’s appointment, he’s actually in room 309, but could you also check if Mrs. Johnson needs her flu shot today?’ The receptionist shrugged and said aloud, 'I’ll just tell everyone that Mr. Smith is in Room 309 AND they can get their flu shots there too!' Soon, people were lined up outside Room 309, some with charts, others with thermos cups—and nobody even noticed poor Mrs. Johnson sitting alone in another corner, quietly waiting for her actual flu shot.
3. It was just another busy day in the waiting room when an elderly gentleman asked the receptionist, ‘Do you think they’ve invented a pill for forgetting your PIN number yet?’ The receptionist smiled and shook her head. ‘Not yet, sir,’ she replied with a kind smile. Just then, a young doctor walked over and whispered, ‘Maybe he’s here for his annual memory checkup?’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the old man himself.
4. It was a routine Tuesday morning when a Kaiser Permanente doctor announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, please bring your pet badgers today for their annual check-up.’ Everyone looked around puzzled—badgers? Turns out it was just a mix-up with the hospital’s computerized scheduling system. By afternoon, everyone was laughing, including the confused delivery driver who showed up with a crate full of badger toys.
