About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd on the clinic’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No note, no label, just sitting there like it had always been. Curious, the regular asked around. Turned out, a friendly neighborhood delivery driver left it as a surprise for everyone. Inside was a basket of fresh donuts—just enough for the whole clinic staff! Everyone had a good laugh and enjoyed their sweet morning treat.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock with a puzzled look. The back door of his truck had opened by itself, revealing an unexpected passenger—an old, dusty teddy bear wearing a lab coat. As it turned out, the teddy bear was just a regular visitor from the nearby retirement home, who loved dropping by in disguise to check on everyone’s health. The next morning, a friendly nurse found him snoozing in the waiting room and returned him safely to his bed.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulling up to the clinic's loading dock heard an eerie humming sound. He looked around but saw no one. Curious, he stepped closer and realized the noise came from inside a large cardboard box, wrapped in old newspapers. Curiously, he opened the box just as a small, sleepy kitten peeked out, blinking its big eyes. The driver smiled, picked up the little feline, and carried it inside. It turned out that someone had accidentally left the kitten there after visiting hours. The next morning, everyone at the clinic was talking about ‘the mysterious midnight visitor’—and now the clinic’s waiting room has a permanent resident.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulling up to the clinic's loading dock smelled something peculiar—an intoxicating scent of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an elderly doctor mixing batter in a giant bowl while humming softly. Turns out, it was just Doc Jenkins making his famous chocolate chip cookies for everyone who worked there. The delivery driver left smiling, thinking maybe OHSU had its own secret cookie fairy after all.
