Banner Health Children's Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the clinic’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up but found no note or label inside. He opened it carefully, only to discover a handwritten sign reading ‘Free cookies for good health!’ Inside were two dozen freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe someone had mistakenly left them there as thanks for his service. He took a few cookies back to the clinic, where everyone enjoyed them while speculating who could’ve been so thoughtful.

2. Late one night, a nurse was finishing her shift when she heard an unusual sound coming from the clinic’s waiting room. Curious, she peeked inside and saw a familiar face—an elderly gentleman dozing off with a toy dinosaur in his arms. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the dinosaur was actually a remote-controlled toy, moving ever so slightly as if it were alive. The old man stirred, smiled gently, and whispered something about ‘visiting his grandson.’ Turns out he was just a delivery driver who’d fallen asleep while waiting for his shift to end. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee the next morning.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic and found a mysterious package marked only with the words ‘For the littlest patient.’ Curious, he carried it inside. Inside, no one knew whose it was, so they opened it carefully. Out popped a small teddy bear wearing a hospital gown and holding a card that read, 'Welcome to your new home!' Turns out, it was a lost toy from the previous night’s birthday party.

4. One afternoon, while parents were picking up their kids from Banner Health Children's Clinic, someone overheard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your child has just won a lifetime supply of cookies!’ As everyone rushed back inside to claim their prize, a delivery driver accidentally knocked over a box of diapers, causing chaos and laughter. The staff quickly realized it was all a mix-up, but the memory of that day remains—a sweet reminder that sometimes life in a children's clinic can be as unpredictable as it is adorable.
