Patients of Lags Medical Center left scrambling after offices abruptly close
FRESNO, California (KFSN) Hundreds of patients of a pain management center are scrambling to find a new place for care after their doctor’s office closed with little notice.
Lags Medical Center shut its doors abruptly last week, leaving many patients without a way to get their prescriptions.
“If I don’t get this medication, I get really sick,” said Joe Stephenson, who has been a patient at Lags Medical Center for more than a year.
On Monday, he visited the location on Shields Avenue near First Street, trying to get ahold of someone in hopes of being referred to a new pain management doctor.

With demand for outdoor gathering areas increasing along with warmer temperatures, a few more options are becoming available in Richmond through a pilot program that’s replacing on-street parking with pop-up patios.
The city started installing the first of five planned parklets in front of participating restaurants and businesses this week through its “Picnic in a Parklet” program. The prefabricated, fenced-off seating areas provide space for outdoor gathering and to-go dining in roadside parking spaces adjacent to the businesses.
The city purchased the five “StreetDeck” parklets from Montana-based Archatrak for $10,000 apiece. The first two are being installed at Joe’s Inn in the Fan and at Ethiopian restaurant Nile in Church Hill. The locations of the three others have yet to be announced.
