About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Planned Parenthood Mar Monte and noticed something strange wafting through the air—a sweet, almost floral scent that seemed out of place amidst the usual sterile hospital smells. As he approached the entrance, a friendly receptionist asked if everything was okay. Turned out, it was just a batch of freshly baked cookies from a neighbor down the street who wanted to support their local clinic. The delivery driver left with a cookie and a smile, never realizing how sweet community spirit could be.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Planned Parenthood Mar Monte and asked the receptionist, ‘Excuse me, ma’am, do you offer prenatal yoga classes here?’ The receptionist smiled warmly and replied, 'Oh, no sir, we don’t offer yoga classes.' The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, 'Thank goodness for that—my wife would never forgive me if I missed our weekly bridge game!'
3. One afternoon, a regular patient entered the waiting room of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte and announced loudly, ‘I just won’t leave until they give me my free pregnancy test!’ A nurse finally brought her the test, but with a smile and whispered, 'Ma’am, you’re already holding it.' The woman blushed, realizing she was clutching a large bag of groceries meant for someone else’s dinner.
4. On a particularly windy night, a homeless man stumbled upon Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, seeking shelter from the storm. Little did he know that inside lay not just medical care but also a surprising array of free snacks. As he reached for a granola bar, he overheard two nurses discussing their weekend plans. Thinking quickly, he pretended to be a regular patient and asked for more snacks. To his surprise, they invited him back every Wednesday for ‘special treats.’ The next week, standing outside in the sunshine, he waved goodbye to his new friends—a delivery driver offered him a ride to the bus station.
