About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the urgent care center’s loading dock and noticed something unusual in one of the parked vans—a large cardboard box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it to find packets of homemade cookies, each with a handwritten note saying, ‘Get well soon!’ As he took his first bite, everyone around him burst out laughing—chocolate chips looked suspiciously like medical band-aids! Turns out, a neighbor had baked them as a joke for patients waiting in line.
2. At closing time one night, an exhausted nurse locked up Valley Medical Center Urgent Care and headed home. But as she walked past the parking lot, she heard someone whispering her name from inside. She stopped, heart pounding, but saw no one. Then a voice whispered again, ‘Nurse? Your shift’s not over yet!’ Turned out it was just a delivery driver joking around. She laughed, unlocked the door, and found him waiting with a box of donuts for the staff.
3. At midnight, a security guard patrolling the parking lot noticed something odd. A sign taped to the front door read: ‘Urgent Care Now Open for Unusual Conditions Only.’ Curious, he approached and saw an elderly gentleman inside, wearing a lab coat and reading a book on ancient remedies. The old man looked up and said, 'We’ve had some unusual patients tonight—an asthmatic pigeon and a constipated squirrel.' With that, he went back to his book, completely ignoring the guard's presence. The guard shook his head and quietly left, deciding Valley Medical Center was indeed open for strange cases.
4. At dawn, a jogger passing by Valley Medical Center Urgent Care heard an unusual announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention all patients and staff—your health is our top priority, but please bring your own tissues from now on.’ Soon after, a regular patient walked in, complaining of a sore throat. The nurse asked him if he remembered to bring his own tissues. He replied, 'Of course I did! I even brought my own hand sanitizer!' Turns out, everyone had stocked up for the apocalypse—or at least for Valley Medical Center’s latest policy.
