About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was making his rounds one morning when he noticed something strange outside Kaiser Permanente Point West. The parking lot seemed unusually quiet, but as he approached the entrance, he heard soft laughter coming from inside. As he peered through the window, he saw an elderly woman in a wheelchair giggling with a young nurse who was feeding her cookies. Turns out, it was just another day of unexpected friendship between Kaiser’s patients and staff.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Kaiser Permanente Point West and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you think they can fix my heart with Legos?’ The receptionist looked puzzled for a moment before bursting out laughing. ‘Sir,’ she said, ‘we can repair your heart, but not with Legos—maybe with some good old-fashioned medicine and surgery!’ The old man nodded wisely and left, muttering something about how doctors these days never appreciated the ingenuity of building blocks.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver was unloading supplies when he heard a soft humming coming from inside the clinic's basement. Curious but cautious, he followed the sound until it led him to an old, dusty cabinet. Inside, he found nothing more than an ancient music box playing a lullaby. Startled, he quickly left and never told anyone. To this day, locals joke that Kaiser Permanente’s patients are actually put to sleep by an enchanted music box in the basement.

4. In the late afternoon, a little girl followed her mother into Kaiser Permanente Point West for a routine check-up. As they waited in the hallway, she pointed excitedly at the ceiling, whispering, 'Mommy, what’s that?' Her mom looked up and smiled, replying gently, ‘That’s just an air vent, honey.’ But as they walked away, she whispered to herself, ‘Or maybe it was a tiny delivery driver taking his break?’
