About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a peculiar package. As he approached the reception desk, an elderly volunteer glanced up and whispered to herself: 'I’ve seen that crate before...' The driver set down the crate, and everyone watched curiously as a small potted plant emerged. Turns out, it was a donation from a local nursery for the waiting room. The old volunteer giggled, saying, ‘Finally, something pretty to look at while we wait!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes the most unusual deliveries bring the best surprises.

2. Late one night, a nurse heard an odd humming sound coming from behind the clinic's old filing cabinets. Curious, she followed the noise and found an ancient thermos singing softly next to a box of expired bandages. Turns out, it was just an old filing cabinet humming along with its newfound friend.

3. In the quiet hallway of Kaiser Permanente, a curious note appeared on the reception desk one morning. It read: 'To whom it may concern, please take good care of our new patient.' As the day progressed, more notes arrived—each signed with different aliases like ‘A Concerned Neighbor,’ ‘Delivery Driver #42,’ and even ‘Your Regular Patient.’ By evening, the entire staff was giggling over these whimsical messages until finally, someone from accounting asked, ‘Who’s our mysterious new patient?’

4. At midnight, a janitor cleaning the waiting room noticed something strange: a small, glowing orb hovering above the reception desk. Curious, he approached it, and suddenly the orb shot towards him, landing softly on his head like a tiny balloon. Startled, he looked around, only to see everyone else in the room fast asleep or pretending not to notice. Turns out, it was just an overactive security light reflecting off a stray balloon from a kid’s birthday party.
