THE WELLNESS NETWORK BRINGS HOME THREE MORE TELLY AWARDS IN 2012

The Wellness Network, parent company of The Patient Channel and The Newborn Channel, is pleased to announce that three more originally-produced programs have won bronze Telly Awards in the Health and Wellness category.

Programs recognized with a 2012 Telly Award on The Patient Channel are:

·  “Avoiding Hospital Readmissions-Heart Attack”

·  “Avoiding Hospital Readmissions-Heart Failure”

Both programs address important information and recovery guidelines to help keep hospitalized patients from returning to the hospital after discharge.

The program recognized with a 2012 Telly Award on The Newborn Channel is:

·  “A Mother’s Gift”

This program explains why breastfeeding is best for baby and Mom, and provides valuable tips on how to breastfeed and how to use a breast pump when Mom is away from baby.

The Telly Awards competition is in its 33rd year, and received nearly 11,000 entries from TV and cable networks, ad agencies, production companies and other content producers.

The judging council evaluates each program individually on its own merit. In addition to The Wellness Network, other former Telly winners include Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, Nickelodeon, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Fox Sports Network, and Time Warner Cable.
