DISCOVERY HEALTH CHANNEL

:''This article is about the US television channel. For the Canadian version, see Discovery Health (Canada).
'Discovery Health Channel' (or DHC), launched on August 2, 1999, is a U.S. cable television network dedicated to programming that highlights various aspects of health and wellness (and unwellness as well). The network is a media property of Discovery Communications Inc., the parent company of other popular cable TV networks such as Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, and the Travel Channel.
A version of DHC has been set up in Canada as well; Discovery Health Canada is a joint venture between Canadian media giant Alliance Atlantis and Discovery Communications Inc. Another version of the channel in the United Kingdom has since been renamed Discovery Home & Health
and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
In the beginning, DHC started out rerunning material from other Discovery Communications entities, most notably the medical-based reality show programming from TLC. As the network matured, it began producing its own programming in the reality show genre, mostly dealing with babies (''Babies: Special Delivery'', ''Birth Day''), bodies ('', ''National Body Challenge''), and blood (''The Critical Hour'', ''). DHC also shows episodes of the CBS medical drama series ''Chicago Hope'' on a semi-regular basis.
DHC won its first Daytime Emmy in 2004 for its original series about adoptive families,
''Adoption Stories''. Most of DHC's fitness-related programming has since been spun off to
its sister network FitTV, though some of it remains, such as the annual ''National Body Challenge''
series.
