UW Health West Towne Clinic and Urgent Care

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s loading dock with a mysterious package. As he signed for it, a strange humming sound filled the air, growing louder by the second. The humming grew so loud that everyone in the clinic stopped what they were doing. Turns out, it was just a new refrigerator for the staff lounge—delivered by mistake instead of the usual office supplies. A relieved smile spread across the delivery driver's face as he shook hands with a nearby nurse, saying, 'Guess I’ll be back here often!'

2. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a box marked ‘urgent care supplies.’ As he unpacked, something unusual caught his eye—a tiny, perfectly formed snowman figurine nestled among the bandages. Curious, he picked it up and noticed that its scarf was made of red medical tape, and its hat from an IV tube cover. Smiling, he placed it on a shelf near the reception desk. From then on, whenever someone needed urgent care, they’d see the little snowman smiling back at them—an unexpected touch of holiday cheer in the busy clinic.

3. A regular patient arrived one evening carrying a large bag of groceries. As he approached the entrance, he noticed something odd—an unfamiliar scent wafting from inside. Curious, he opened the door slightly, and the smell grew stronger—a mix of disinfectant, coffee, and something… sweet? He peered inside and saw an elderly nurse humming softly as she prepared snacks for the staff. ‘Oh,’ she said, noticing him, ‘just our little midnight snack break!’ The patient laughed, relieved it wasn’t anything serious, and left, thinking, ‘maybe next time I’ll join them.’

4. On a particularly chilly autumn night, a delivery driver approached the clinic's entrance with a package wrapped in mysterious brown paper. As he neared the door, a sudden gust of wind blew off his hat, revealing an old, crumpled note stuck inside it. Curious onlookers gathered around him as he read aloud: 'Dear Delivery Driver, please deliver this package to Dr. Smith. P.S. It's not urgent.' The clinic staff burst into laughter, while the delivery driver just shook his head and muttered, 'Another regular'.
