About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kaiser Permanente one night, a delivery driver swore he saw an old lady waving from behind the reception desk. ‘Hello!’ she called out, but no one else could see her. The delivery driver looked around nervously, thinking maybe he was just seeing things. But when he glanced back, she was still there, smiling warmly and beckoning him over. ‘Don’t worry,’ she whispered, ‘I’m here every Thursday night.’ And with that, she vanished into thin air, leaving everyone in the waiting room scratching their heads—and the poor confused driver wondering if he’d ever get his shift done.

2. In the early morning hours, a nurse on duty heard soft footsteps approaching her station. Peering through the glass door, she watched as a shadowy figure slipped into the waiting room and took a seat, never making a sound. Curious, the nurse approached cautiously, only to see an old man dozing off in the chair. ‘Sir,’ she whispered, ‘are you okay?’ The man startled awake and sheepishly replied, ‘Oh, I must’ve fallen asleep waiting for my appointment.’ She smiled warmly, thinking it was just another case of mistaken identity—until he yawned and added, ‘Guess Kaiser Permanente attracts some pretty quiet patients!’

3. At Kaiser Permanente, a receptionist once muttered under her breath, ‘Why does everyone always leave their shoes here?’ Then one day, an elderly neighbor dropped by with a basket of fresh tomatoes and asked jokingly, ‘Did you run out of shoe polish again?’ The receptionist just smiled and replied, ‘Must be something in the water.’

4. At Kaiser Permanente, during the quietest hour of dawn, a janitor noticed something peculiar: a shadowy figure darting between the exam rooms. Curious, he followed it to an empty room where a dustpan whispered, ‘I’m lost!’ Turns out, it was just an overeager vacuum cleaner with a mind of its own. The janitor smiled and named him Otto, making Kaiser Permanente’s morning routine a little more entertaining.
