About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the clinic doors were locked and the lights dimmed, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside one of the examination rooms. It grew louder each evening, like something mechanical was waking up. Finally, someone reported it to maintenance. The next morning, technicians opened the room to discover nothing but an old, abandoned baby monitor. Turns out, the clinic had recently moved offices, and no one bothered to unplug everything before closing up for the night. A regular joked that maybe the clinic now had its very own ghostly babysitter.
2. At dawn, when most clinics are still quiet, an early bird delivery driver noticed something unusual outside the West Washington Clinic's entrance. Curious, he peered closer and saw a small dog, wagging its tail and sniffing around the clinic’s door. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood stray that had found a cozy spot for its morning constitutional. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and went on his way—leaving behind a happy little canine fan of early-morning healthcare.
3. In the dead of winter, when snowdrifts blocked the streets around the clinic, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every morning, just as he approached the entrance, the sound of soft laughter echoed through the empty hallway. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old vending machine humming softly. Inside was a lone candy bar wrapped in holiday wrapping paper—clearly someone’s prank gift. From that day on, whenever deliveries arrived, everyone brought their own joke gifts for the mysterious ‘neighbor’ they never saw.
4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, something odd caught his eye—a strange object nestled among the medical supplies. Curious, he picked it up—it was a vintage jigsaw puzzle with a picture of a smiling doctor. He carefully placed the puzzle on the counter and started assembling it under the dim light. To his surprise, every piece fit perfectly, revealing not just a doctor’s smile but also a hidden message: ‘Visit us for your health needs!’ The next morning, everyone in town knew about the mysterious puzzle—and so did UnityPoint Health.
