Outcomes in Hospitals Across the United States
The Healthcare Television Network
names Joy Care Universe as its official
Joy-Inspiring Programming

(Fort Myers, FL – April 1, 2015) The Healthcare Television Network (www.htvnetworks.com) announces it has named Joy Care Universe (www.joycareuniverse.com) as its official partner to provide
“Joy Breaks” in hospital and healthcare facility programming. For years, the Healthcare Television Network
(HTV) has been providing custom programming for various healthcare facilities around
the country. The goal of this programming
is to entertain, educate, inspire and engage patients, visitors and caregivers.
With the recent partnership of Joy Care Universe (JCU), the programming will
now also feature hourly, 30-second “Joy Breaks.”
“These ‘Joy Breaks’ will inspire
patients, visitors and caregivers to take a moment to breathe, smile and
relax,” says Tim Rowe, Founder/CEO of Joy Care Universe a division of Joy Kids
Universe. “The goal is to reduce stress where and when it’s needed most!”
The Joy Breaks will feature visually
pleasing images, inspiring messages and soothing and inspiring
soundtracks. These “Joy Breaks” are
created for healthcare environments, based on research that has proven that joy
and laughter can:
·
Boost
the immune system; improving resistance to disease
·
Trigger
the release of endorphins which can even relieve pain
·
Protect
the heart, improve the function of blood vessels and increase blood flow, which
can help protect against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
The partnership of JCU and HTV is also
extending to the sister companies that are specific to children’s healthcare
(Joy Kids Universe and The Children’s Television Network). This programming provides positive messaging
and approved content chosen specifically for children’s hospitals. The Children’s Television Network (TCTVN) will
feature “Joybug” as its official mascot, and will incorporate “Joy Breaks” for
children in TCTVN programming. The
Joybug mascot will also make appearances at TCTVN-affiliated children’s
hospitals.
“When we met with the founders of Joy Care
Universe, we discovered that our visions were extremely aligned,” said Scott
Spence, Founder and Chairman of UCASTV, the parent company of HTV. “We are very excited about this partnership,
and the opportunity to bring an even higher level of ‘joy’ to people both
receiving and providing healthcare across the country by incorporating this
branding and messaging into our current programming.”
