About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet hallway of UCF Health-Lake Nona one morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free Samples: Take One.’ Curious, he picked up a packet labeled simply ‘Lake Nona Miracle Mix,’ curious what local secret it might hold. As he opened it, a faint scent of pineapple and mint wafted out. Confused but intrigued, he popped it into his mouth—only to discover it was just a packet of sugar-free gum. A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, 'That’s our new patient incentive!' The regular shook his head, smiling, realizing that sometimes the best secrets are right under your nose.
2. In the waiting room of UCF Health-Lake Nona, a little girl pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that doctor’s stethoscope keep waving at us?’ The mother smiled and leaned closer to whisper back, ‘Honey, it’s just his shadow playing tricks on us.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she saw another wave from above. ‘But Mommy, why is he waving at us twice?’
3. In the cafeteria of UCF Health-Lake Nona, a nurse exclaimed, ‘I just saw Dr. Smith feeding a pigeon in the parking lot!’ Another nurse shook her head and said, ‘You’d think he’d be too busy saving lives to feed birds!’ Just then, an orderly walked by with a tray full of snacks and quipped, ‘Dr. Smith’s heart is clearly bigger than his clinic!’
4. In the parking lot of UCF Health-Lake Nona, a delivery driver swore he heard someone calling his name from inside an empty exam room. Curious, he peered inside and saw only shadows dancing on the walls. Turned out it was just his colleague, a regular who liked hiding in exam rooms during lunch break. They both laughed it off, and now whenever anyone orders pizza for delivery, they always leave a note: ‘Not for UCF Health!’
