About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver approached the Kaiser Permanente Pediatrics Building, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all patients and staff—please be advised that our friendly neighborhood giraffe has escaped from the zoo again.’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled but decided not to ignore it. He drove into the parking lot, where everyone was already gathering to watch the giraffe sauntering towards them with its long graceful neck. A nearby neighbor shouted, 'Hey, isn’t that your kid’s toy giraffe?' Turned out, it was just another day in paradise—a toy left outside by a local child.

2. A neighborhood kid was skipping rope outside the Kaiser Permanente Pediatrics Building one afternoon when suddenly, every time he jumped, the rope would mysteriously get tangled around something invisible. Finally, an old delivery driver walked by and asked what was going on. With a twinkle in his eye, he told the boy to jump while saying ‘Kaiser, Kaiser!’ Sure enough, the rope untangled itself with each bounce. Everyone laughed, including the perplexed doctor inside who wondered if he should start seeing patients for strange rope phenomena instead of just kids with fevers.

3. A nurse at the Kaiser Permanente Pediatrics Building overheard an unusual conversation one day. ‘Did you hear that?’ she asked her colleague. ‘What?’ replied her friend. She pointed towards the window and said simply, ‘The baby just started laughing.’ Curious, they both approached the window and saw nothing but a quiet infant in its cot. Suddenly, another baby from across the room giggled softly, followed by a third, then a fourth. Within minutes, the entire pediatric ward was filled with innocent laughter. The nurses exchanged amused glances, shrugged, and went back to their work—convinced it must’ve been just a regular day at Kaiser Permanente.

4. In the waiting room of the Kaiser Permanente Pediatrics Building, a small dog appeared out of nowhere. It trotted up to each child patient, wagged its tail and sat down next to them, causing giggles and smiles. One day, an old delivery driver entered the room with a box under his arm. He bent down to scratch the dog’s head and accidentally knocked over a stack of charts. Everyone burst into laughter as the dog calmly walked away, leaving behind a trail of confused but smiling parents.
