About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the clinic’s parking lot seemed to be filled with more cars than usual, but no one was leaving. ‘Where are they all going?’ he wondered aloud. As he approached closer, he saw everyone standing around a large pot of freshly brewed coffee. Turns out, it was Coffee Appreciation Day—a regular event where staff and patients gather for chats and free joe. The delivery driver smiled, thinking, 'Now that’s a clinic worth visiting!'

2. Late one night, a delivery driver approached the clinic’s loading dock and heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Please return your oxygen tanks to room B.’ Curious, he found room B and discovered only a small child playing with empty tanks. The kid looked up and said, 'Daddy works here, but he forgot his keys again.' Everyone had a good laugh, and now the staff keeps some spare keys near the entrance.

3. A curious neighbor watched as the clinic's lights came on unusually early one morning. He wondered who could possibly be there so early. Curious, he tiptoed closer and saw an exhausted nurse helping a sleepy delivery driver bring in fresh supplies. Turns out, it was just another day at Fresenius, where life-saving treatments start before dawn. The neighbor chuckled and went back home, thinking maybe he should set his alarm earlier too.

4. On a chilly autumn morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fresenius Kidney Care Pine Brook. As he unloaded supplies, he noticed something peculiar—an old man was walking briskly towards the entrance, wearing nothing but a hospital gown and slippers. As the delivery driver watched in surprise, the old man quickly disappeared inside. A few minutes later, a nurse emerged from the building, laughing and saying, 'Oh, that's Mr. Johnson—he must be here for his dialysis.' The delivery guy shook his head and muttered, 'Guess I’ll just keep delivering these supplies like it’s any other day.'
