Live Well, Die Well | Ira Byock, MD

The Best Care Possible Through the End of Life We prepare for life’s most important events – education, career, weddings, birthdays and vacations – with careful planning. Yet, when it comes to serious illness and death, one of the nation’s most influential leaders in hospice and palliative medicine says Americans don’t want to talk about it. Join Ira Byock, M.D., a nationally-acclaimed author, palliative care specialist and the director of the Providence Institute for Human Caring for this presentation recorded October 29, 2015 in Spokane, Washington. Byock has authored three books: "The Best Care Possible" (2012) in which he tackles the crisis surrounding serious illness; "The Four Things that Matter Most" (2004), used widely as a counseling tool in palliative care, hospice programs and pastoral care; and "Dying Well" (1997), a standard in the field of hospice and palliative care. “There are worse things than having your loved one die,” says Dr. Byock, “and that’s having your loved one die badly.” Byock recently launched the two-year pilot Whole Person Care program at three leading hospitals in Southern California that bases medical treatment on a person’s physical, emotional, interpersonal, social and spiritual well-being. Honest conversations about mortality among caregivers, patients and families offer the best care possible and opportunities to deepen relationships. “Dying is a time of living,” Byock says. “It’s time to reclaim this rich time of life.” After Dr. Ira Byock’s presentation, a panel of local and state experts discuss end of life health care issues in Washington. Presenters include: C. Scott Bond – President and CEO, Washington State Hospital Association Gina Drummond – CEO, Hospice of Spokane Lynn Kimball – Executive Director, Aging & Long Term Care of Eastern Washington Brian Seppi, MD – Division Lead Physician, Providence Medical Group, Spokane State Representative Marcus Riccelli of Spokane, who is vice chair of the Legislature’s Health Care and Wellness committee, moderates the discussion.
