A New Chapter in a Golden Age of Growth and Identity
In a quiet Central Californian district, a bold transformation echoes—West Hills College Lemoore is now simply Lemoore College. The rebranding points to a community coming into its own. The college has also been recognized as the region’s best college and technical/trade school by the Fresno Bee’s Best of Central California People’s Choice awards.
“Stay Golden,” says Lemoore College President James Preston. This sentiment is rooted in the mascot, the Golden Eagle, symbolizing aspirational flight. “It’s all about having a laser focus on students and their success while striving for the gold standard of innovative and inclusive excellence,” he remarks. “Our goal is to create community and belonging while providing our students and community the skills and support they need to get to the next level, whether that is preparing them for transfer or for the workforce.”
Lemoore College now introduces an empowering new slogan, “Flex Your Future.”
This progress reflects the institution’s growth and transformation.
Lemoore College now introduces an empowering new slogan, “Flex Your Future.” It’s a call to action that captures the college’s commitment to giving every student the tools, support, and opportunities they need to shape their own future.
“One of our strategic goals is flexible spaces and services which highlight our innovative nature as we are able to provide courses, services, and support in a way that best meets the needs of our students,” says Preston. “Whether it is providing a food pantry and zero-textbook cost courses, or strong academics in various modalities such as face-to-face, hybrid, or online, or other types of assistance such as mental health support, or career and course guidance to a recent high school graduate or an adult returning to college, our flexibility means that we can meet students where they are and tailor the education and support they need to be successful.”
The district that houses Lemoore College is no stranger to growth and transformation. The rebranding of two colleges in the West Hills Community College District, including Lemoore and its sister institution, Coalinga College, was a decision made in collaboration. It was a collective effort, a testament to the power of community support and the need to spotlight their unique identities.
Chancellor Dr. Kristin Clark of the West Hills Community College District explained why it was essential for it to differentiate the colleges.
6 BESTOFCENTRALCALIFORNIA.COM
“Our institutions, while they share a common goal of educational empowerment, each have unique characters that resonate with their respective student bodies and communities,” she said. “The communities were in favor, voters petitioned, students and staff supported, and finally, it was approved by the board of trustees of West Hills Community College District. Keeping the long-standing tradition and recognition of the district in mind, its name will remain the West Hills Community College District and will maintain its well-known slogan, ‘Once you go here, you can go anywhere,’ while at the same time addressing the need for differentiation and creating a fresh new look that aligns with the district’s new era of educating our communities. I am extremely excited to see this much-needed change take place.”
Lemoore College provides a university-like experience with its welcoming atmosphere and expansive campus that are rooted in a rich history. This college isn’t restraining itself from the usual boundaries of academics by offering courses ranging from industry automation and nursing to culinary arts, computer science, business, and engineering. Life at Lemoore College is full of student-run clubs, a dynamic student government, and a thriving athletic scene that nurtures well-rounded individuals.
“The Golden Eagle family at Lemoore College recognizes the power of education to transform and change lives,” says Preston. “We are determined to put the community back in community college as we serve and connect with Kings County and the South Valley community.”
Lemoore College stands proud and ready to expand its reach as it begins a distinguished path of change. It is one that stays golden while flexing into the future.

The past 50 years have seen remarkable improvements in cardiovascular care. Back in the 70s, angioplasty cleared arteries by inserting a balloon into an artery near the groin, and then running it up toward the heart. Today, patients are able to receive a stent through their wrists.
As the care of heart patients has evolved, so has The Heart Group. The practice continues to preserve its position as the vanguard of cardiac care by recruiting subspecialty trained cardiologists who bring an even greater depth and breadth of services to the practice.

The Heart Group currently employs 10 cardiologists who are trained in a range of cardiac subspecialities, including board-certified interventional cardiology, structural heart cardiology, electrophysiology, heart failure, and general cardiology. The practice is supported by nine nurse practitioners and two physician assistants who are skilled in the practice of cardiology and devoted to the provision of compassionate care.

Local personal injury law firm seeks to correct injustice
The attorneys at Omega Law Group focus on putting the client first, always. They understand that those seeking a lawyer for a personal injury case are experiencing a lifechanging event and repay that trust with the maximum recovery in the shortest amount of time.
The Fresno area is a hub for manufacturing and transportation, which means there are plenty of trucks on the road. The result is that one of the cases Omega Law Group sees most often are accidents involving semitrucks. Due to a large number of agricultural fields in Fresno being turned into warehouses, the number of truck accidents increasing is inevitable.
“Facilitating access to the best treatment possible is extremely important to us because most people can’t access that without our help,” Saghian said. He and his colleagues persistently advocate for their clients, ensuring their rights are vigorously defended and not settling for anything less than they deserve.
And their services are open for any and all who need them at no up-front costs - they only get paid if they win the case. “I am deeply committed to advocating for those who lack representation,” Saghian said.
“I am deeply committed to advocating for those who lack representation.”
In response, Omega Law Group fights for fair compensation for their clients in cases that are both emotionally and economically challenging.“One of the significant challenges inherent in the role of a personal injury lawyer is securing fair compensation for our clients,” founding partner Robin Saghian said. “Despite facing lifealtering injuries, many clients encounter resistance from insurance companies offering unjust settlements.” One of the most gratifying parts of the team’s job at Omega Law Group is witnessing a client’s full financial, physical, and emotional recovery and restoring their former lives.
“People of diverse backgrounds and cultures are often given unequal access to legal assistance. Our goal is to ensure all of our clients feel secure and supported in their pursuit of justice.” This is a personal issue for many of the firm’s staff with many loved ones not having access to sound legal counsel after their own injuries. The attorneys at Omega Law Group aim to correct injustices like these.
Every interaction with clients is undergirded by three principles: empathy, transparency, and personalization. “Recognizing the unique nature of each client, we prioritize individual attention to ensure that every client feels valued and their case is given the utmost importance,” Saghian elaborated. “Our focus on the client experience is critical to us and is a cornerstone of our firm.”

He recalls a case Omega Law Group took over from another firm as an example. A client was in a particularly bad accident with life-changing injuries and hired a law firm he has used in the past. After a three-year ordeal, the firm brought him a settlement offer from the insurance company for 1.2 million dollars and advised him to take it. Not satisfied, the client reached out to Omega Law Group for a second opinion.
“We ended up settling his case for $5 million dollars. Needless to say, the client was ecstatic. It changed his life completely, as he was able to start a new family business with the settlement funds and is now able to provide for his wife and kids again.“
Omega Law Group is deeply grateful for the recognition bestowed on it by the Fresno community through Best of Central California. They promise to continue to properly represent said community to the best of its ability.

Many visitors are curious about our unique hotel and ask if it was once one of the famous 21 Kings Highway missions founded by Father Junipero Serra from 1769 (San Diego) to 1823 (Sonoma). The answer is, admittedly, no! But our Mission fits the Mold...
Hotel Mission de Oro was built and opened in 1974 by Jesus Monroy, who was inspired to recreate the mission in his father’s hometown of Tepoztlan in Morelos, Mexico. Jesus’ dream was to construct 27 missions, each 400 miles apart, thus creating a new Kings Highway on Interstate 5 from Alaska to Argentina. Special points of interest include our nine-story bell tower, a million-dollar mission, wine and agrarian art collection, a life-size replica of Michelangelo’s Pieta, and the bronze busts of presidents John F. Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower, dedicated in honor of their participation in developing the local San Luis Dam.
Nestled in the golden California Foothills, this landmark’s convenient location serves as the perfect stopping point for travelers heading anywhere from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Yosemite National Park to Monterey and Santa Cruz.
Today, Hotel Mission de Oro has transformed into a fullservice hotel, offering a pleasant retreat in a secluded sanctuary. We have 162 guest rooms, including 93 superior mission-style rooms, and 10 separate meeting and event rooms totaling 17,000 square feet, with the capability of accommodating a total of over 1,000 people. We offer organizations a training facility where members will find a pleasant retreat for their meetings.
Since the hotel came under new ownership in 2015, a total renovation has aimed to outfit the hotel with exceptional amenities and conveniences, while retaining its original vibrancy and historical significance. We welcome you to enjoy our family-friendly upscale casual restaurant, fantastic sports lounge, pool and fitness center, and our very own Wine Museum of California, which showcases the missionaries’ roles as the first to bring grapes and wine to California. We encourage you to take the time to walk through the courtyard and enjoy the hotel and all of its current interests.
