Every five to seven days in ICU, there would be a formal conversation to see if the treatment is consistent with what was wanted. And the family will also be ‘treated’ for their own stress to ensure they are getting enough rest, have a place to clean up or shower and ways to communicate with extended family and friends. We would look at this as a personal experience and not just a medical event.” Among the most telling statistics, 70 percent of Americans say they would rather die at home surrounded by loved ones than in a hospital—and yet sure enough, 70 percent die in a hospital, nursing home or long-term care facility. The result in most cases is unnecessary, ineffective, often-unwanted and very costly medical treatments at the end of life that can lead to financial ruin and family discord. To address the situation, Dr. Byock advocates that all patients over 18 have advance health care directives on file. Under the new system, caregivers receive training on how to provide advanced care planning and how to discuss serious illnesses with patients and families while always keeping the patient’s specific needs at the forefront. “If we know anything about illness, people’s needs are highly personal—so the best care is not a one-size-fits-all model,” Dr. Byock noted. “Before we ask, ‘What’s the matter with you?’…we ask, ‘What matters most to you?’ so that we can make sure we’re not just doing things to people but know what their goals are in order to make decisions about treatment with them and not for them. Ethnicity, upbringing, religion and individual idiosyncrasies can all play a part.” While it has taken decades to get this far, Dr. Byock reports huge inroads made in moving to a whole person care philosophy. “Through the work the Institute is doing, we are driving a transformation that can be an example to the rest of the country,” he said. “The future of health care is in personcentered care and Providence Little Company of Mary is an ardent supporter and major leader in this progression.” Born and raised on the Jersey Shore, Dr. Byock had no clue what he wanted to do for his future living when he started his college studies in the Washington, D.C. area. “In high school, my assumption was whatever I did in my career shouldn’t require that much college,” he said. He took a few political science courses, but found himself floundering. “But then when I challenged that assumption and just looked at what truly interested me, it was clear I wanted to help take care of people. It was like the clouds finally cleared.” He went on to complete his undergrad work at the University of Colorado with a degree in biology and continued to medical school there with the eventual post-graduate work in Fresno as part of the University of California, San Francisco program. “I thought I would be a rural family doctor and did that for a short time,” Dr. Byock said of his early career. “I was also enamored with emergency medicine and started a hospice. I did a lot of volunteer work and saw many patients at their homes.” Spurred by his experience with Mr. Rodriguez and others, he began to serve on committees as an early proponent of palliative care and wrote a number of papers on the subject. In the late 1990s, he accepted an offer to lead a national program to provide grants and technical assistance to health care systems trying to integrate hospice-like care within the mainstream. Dr. Byock worked with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to establish palliative care in ICUs, rural health clinics, pediatric specialty hospitals and even the state penitentiary. “It all worked brilliantly and opened up the doors to expand palliative care across the country,” he said. “At Dartmouth, we spent a decade building out palliative care within the medical center and through teaching programs. Now at Providence, we hope to take it to the next level where the whole person model will be the new mainstream.” Married with two grown daughters and a couple of grandkids plus other family in the Los Angeles area, Dr. Byock lives close to the hospital and has quickly grown used to the pleasures of West Coast weather and the South Bay’s many amenities. “We are enjoying ourselves a great deal,” he confirmed, though he admitted his schedule is packed to the gills. “I rarely get to see patients anymore these days. At this point, I need to do what I can do to support others in this effort…” Dr. Ira Byock will hold a workshop on advance care planning at the Redondo Beach Library (303 N. Pacific Coast Highway) on Friday, Sept. 23 from 1 to 3 p.m. The event is free, but registration required.

I enjoyed the border grill chicken salad as I sat next to a life-size black and white polka dotted giraffe wearing pearls. We sat on a curb eating and watching the joy of the art walkers as they excitedly discussed the images they had seen during the night. As for the art, I personally really enjoyed the work of Ms. Lee Tunila. She presented unconstructed, geometric drawings of people often without facial features but with overlays of extra body parts, and pops of color. Her work was completed on a sort of parchment paper with rough edges that offset the modern lines of the work. I would describe it best as “compelling disturbing.” I also really enjoyed the freshness of the work of Art.Joanna. With fresh takes in her paintings of common El Segundo beach sites. I was particularly taken by a piece of work that features a lifeguard tower overshadowed by a palm tree, all done in pinks and blues with an entire background of symmetrical polka dots. It was whimsical, happy and captivating. Thank you to all the businesses that opened up their gallery spaces to the community and let us share in a piece of the beauty you are creating in this world, right here in our little town of El Segundo. I’m only upset that I have to wait until June to enjoy the treasure that is the El Segundo Art walk again. • Fabletics from page 7 hundreds of hours of content for social media. Social media isn’t just flash over substance to Fabletics. It’s as much a part of today’s business as the clothing itself. “It’s hard to be a fashion company and not be a content company in the 21st century,” Gold said. The creative process of fashion and media are tightly woven because of the prevalence of social media and web messaging, he said. Other companies are pushing the evolution of e-commerce into America’s malls, too. Canadian athletic apparel company LuluLemon Athletica embraces the online and retail sales mix, and offers membership discounts and special offers. The Vancouver, British Columbia-based manufacturer sells activewear for practitioners of yoga, running, cross-training and watersports. It has a store at the Plaza El Segundo, not far from JustFab and Fabletics headquarters. Gap-owned Athleta is also a player in stylish womens and mens sports apparel, with stores located in El Segundo at The Point, Santa Monica, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks and The Grove in Los Angeles. Though opening stores may seem like a step backward, the ecommerce clothing companies say they’re doing it to get physically closer to their customers. Gregg Throgmartin, the president of retail for Fabletics, said in a February interview with California Apparel News, that walking in a store and seeing the merchandise up close is a sensory experience they miss when they buy online. “If you see Fabletics on Facebook and Pinterest, and then you see our TV commercial, your level of confidence in the brand increases,” he said. “Then, if you see it at The Village at Westfield Topanga, the halo adds legitimacy to the brand. Shoppers are excited that they see the shop at the mall.” The walk-in experience is turning mall shoppers into Fabletics members, the company reports. Nearly one in four people who visit its stores register as members before leaving, then they continue to shop and buy online. The terms of the monthly membership has confused some consumers, who said on social media sites like Yelp they were unexpectedly charged a monthly fee. Under the terms of the membership, a Fabletics shopper must visit the web site once before the fifth of each month to avoid being charged the fee. Spokesman Gold said the fee is explained throughout the enrollment process, and members must check that they understand and agree to join the loyalty program. The $49.95 fee stays in a member’s account and can be applied to purchases. Members may opt out any month from making a purchase and can cancel their membership at any time, according to Fabletics web site. •
