About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the hospital with a mysterious package marked ‘Do Not Open.’ As he approached the reception desk, an old lady called out from her wheelchair: ‘Hurry up, sonny! I heard they’ve got some new cancer treatments here!’ As the young man rushed inside, the old lady winked at him and whispered, 'I just want to try their famous apple pie!' Turns out, it was indeed a box of freshly baked pies meant for staff appreciation. The rest of the week saw the delivery guy delivering not only packages but also free samples of pie to everyone in the hospital.
2. At dawn, when most hospitals were quiet, a nurse noticed something peculiar outside the cancer institute’s windows. A neighbor had begun leaving small bouquets of sunflowers on the steps every morning, each one facing east toward the rising sun. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Special Delivery.’ The nurse peeked inside and found dozens of sunflower seeds. Turns out, the neighbor was an amateur botanist who believed that planting more sunflowers would bring good luck to patients. Everyone laughed, but soon enough, the hospital grounds were filled with bright yellow flowers.
3. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a janitor discovered an unusual item in the staff breakroom fridge. It looked like someone had left a small, wrapped gift labeled simply ‘For the best oncologist’. Curious, he unwrapped it to find… nothing but a tiny note that read: ‘Happy Birthday, Dr. Wonderful! Love, Anonymous.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a well-meaning delivery driver who thought they were leaving something special for the head doctor.
4. In the waiting room one afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly towards the window. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘there’s a squirrel playing chess!’ Her mother shook her head, smiling, but couldn’t help noticing that the tiny furry creature seemed to be moving the pieces carefully. A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman approached the window, nodded respectfully at the squirrel, and said to his companion, 'I believe that's our new mascot.' The receptionist, scratching her head, replied with a smile, 'We'll definitely add it to the welcome brochure!'
