ART PALM SPRINGS - 9TH<br />
YEAR OF INTERNATIONAL<br />
ART EXPOSITION<br />

Well the debates are<br />
finally starting to rival<br />
a local election with the<br />
mud slinging and rabid<br />
white privilege on display<br />
for anyone with the<br />
courage to look.<br />
But I am sure very few<br />
heard anything but<br />
the jabs of their own<br />
candidate.<br />
The fact is that this debate<br />
looked more like a Trump<br />
reality show.<br />
It also means we have to<br />
consider four more of<br />
wasted opportunity. So we<br />
need to make damn sure<br />
we hold the house and<br />
take the senate.<br />
Right now, everyone is<br />
yelling because of the<br />
flaws of our candidates<br />
are the result of failed<br />
democracy under white<br />
rule.<br />
And our inability to<br />
have a real discussion<br />
about what must be<br />
done and less about what<br />
should have been done.<br />
Win arguments but not<br />
elections.<br />
We have a democracy<br />
when we allow dissent in<br />
the party. But the people<br />
need to focus on who is<br />
best not why the other<br />
person is worse.<br />
Then again party debates<br />
are like family feuds. At<br />
the end of the day, Hillary<br />
will choose.<br />

“Virtual Pharmacist” introduced at Desert<br />
Oasis Healthcare Improving chronic condition<br />
treatment through Arine’s data science<br />
technology<br />
February <strong>19</strong>, <strong>2020</strong> – Palm Springs and San<br />
Francisco – Desert Oasis Healthcare (DOHC)<br />
has entered into a multi-year commercial<br />
partnership with Arine, a healthcare technology<br />
company combining data science with clinical<br />
expertise. Arine’s Virtual Pharmacist software<br />
platform will be used to ensure DOHC patients<br />
are on the safest and most effective medications<br />
for their chronic conditions. Those conditions<br />
currently include Chronic Obstructive<br />
Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Heart Failure,<br />
Cardiovascular conditions, and Diabetes.<br />
The Virtual Pharmacist brings logic and<br />
efficiency to a very complicated task for DOHC<br />
clinical pharmacists who are members of<br />
patient care teams in the Population Health and<br />
Prescription Management Department. The<br />
department is known internally and by patients<br />
as PHARxM – pronounced “Farm.”<br />
“This new tool presents a lot of complex<br />
information in an easy-to-view, easy-tounderstand<br />
dashboard so we can quickly focus<br />
on important care decisions,” said Lindsey<br />
Valenzuela, Administrator of PHARxM.<br />
“The Virtual Pharmacist allows my team<br />
of pharmacists to support DOHC nurses,<br />
physicians and other care team members to<br />
serve more patients, better and faster.”<br />
Analyzing social, clinical and behavioral data<br />
on an ongoing basis to pinpoint patient health<br />
needs, the Virtual Pharmacist highlights<br />
existing access issues and identifies dangerous<br />
gaps in care. It then uses artificial intelligence<br />
to generate tailored, evidence-based treatment<br />
plans designed to improve health outcomes and<br />
reduce costs.<br />
Almost 90% of healthcare spending in the<br />
United States is driven by patients with chronic<br />
conditions, many of whom are treated with<br />
chronic medications. Over $520B in annual<br />
unnecessary spending can be directly tied to<br />
negative clinical consequences of mismanaged<br />
medications.<br />
“This partnership and technology-enabled<br />
approach will reduce the unnecessary costs<br />
associated with non-optimized therapy,<br />
especially for patients on multiple concurrent<br />
medications. Most importantly, the Virtual<br />
Pharmacist will help DOHC care teams scale<br />
their impact to thousands of patients in the<br />
desert communities of southern California,”<br />
says Yoona Kim, CEO of Arine.<br />
“The Virtual Pharmacist is like a highlycapable,<br />
senior member of our patient care<br />
team,” says Valenzuela. “It’s as if we’ve added a<br />
new colleague whose sole purpose is to deliver<br />
tailored, actionable recommendations to our<br />
patients.”<br />
About Desert Oasis Healthcare<br />
Formed in <strong>19</strong>81 as one of the first medical<br />
groups in the desert communities of southern<br />
California, Desert Oasis Healthcare (DOHC)<br />
is an affiliate of the Heritage Provider Network<br />
(HPN.) Today, HPN and its affiliated medical<br />
groups make up one of the nation’s leading<br />
physician-driven healthcare solutions<br />
organizations.<br />

AdamsArtExpose’ ART<br />
Brian Atchley emerging artist at Silo118 Gallery<br />
This year Art Palm Springs features<br />
nearly 60 galleries from around the world<br />
and locally. Galleries from South Korea,<br />
Switzerland, Argentina, and Venezuela<br />
are a few of the foreign countries<br />
represented as well as numerous galleries<br />
from around the United States and<br />
the local area. Each of these features<br />
numerous artists both contemporary<br />
living artists and some whose works are<br />
considered masterpieces of creativity<br />
from artists no longer with us.<br />
One relatively local gallery at the show is<br />
the Silo118 Gallery from Santa Barbara.<br />
The gallery was actually in a grain silo<br />
next to the Weber Bread factory which<br />
was in business from the late <strong>19</strong>40s<br />
until the mid-<strong>19</strong>70s. After the bakery<br />
AdamsArtExpose’<br />
ART PALM SPRINGS - 9TH YEAR OF INTERNATIONAL ART EXPOSITION<br />
had closed the silo sat empty for several<br />
decades. In 2016 Bonnie Rubenstein<br />
moved from the east coast to run an art<br />
gallery she named it Sio118 reflecting<br />
the address of where it was located.<br />
Although the idea of a silo gallery was<br />
very unique it turned out that it was not<br />
in the part of the city attracting people<br />
interested in the arts. disappointed she<br />
closed the gallery in 2018 but began the<br />
Silo118.com online gallery. She attends<br />
mega art fairs such as Art Palm Springs<br />
and represents up and coming artists.<br />
On artist that caught my eye who Bonnie<br />
represents is an artist new to the art<br />
world. The artist is Brian Atchley.<br />
Brian had not set out to be an artist.<br />
He was working in Chicago for an<br />

advertising Company doing photography.<br />
He noticed an unused canvas in a dumpster<br />
outside of his apartment. He had a vision<br />
of a woman he wanted to paint from a<br />
photograph he had taken. This was the<br />
beginning of his advent into art. His first<br />
painting titled, "Serenity" is what evolved<br />
on that thrown away canvas. He decided<br />
to try his hand at art The next decision<br />
was a warm climate to work in. He flipped<br />
a coin for Miami or California. He now<br />
lives in West Hollywood among a number<br />
of aspiring young artists. He describes his<br />
work as photorealism or hyper-real. From<br />
his beginning, in photography, he says he<br />
looks at where light is coming from, where it<br />
is focused. He begins a painting with these<br />
questions in mind. The subjects of his work<br />
now are primarily figures of models he has<br />
photographed. He uses a griding technique<br />
to achieve the details in the realism of the<br />
painting. He indicated that he is a growing<br />
artist and now realism is his focus who<br />
knows what the future will bring with new<br />
techniques with this young creative artist.<br />
The works displayed at the Silo118 booth<br />
at Art Palm Springs include a large<br />
painting of two figures by Brian titled,<br />
"Eye of Providence" a larger than life-size<br />
painting that dominates the visual space<br />
of the Silo118 Gallery. This is just one of<br />
many galleries and artists that are visually<br />
stimulating and exciting to view at the show.<br />
Other artists will be featured in future<br />
