(New York, NY – July 19, 2010) TVR Communications (TVRC), the largest U.S. provider of interactive patient services and entertainment products, announced that it has partnered with The Window Channel to deliver relaxation programs and videos to hospitals and their patients.

“Our latest partnership with The Window Channel enables patients to reduce stress by immersing themselves in a relaxing therapeutic environment,” said Samir Batra, TVRC national practice leader for patient services. “The Window Channel’s ambient environments, recorded with naturally occurring sounds, create restorative environments.”

The Window Channel brings the world to life in unparalleled clarity with incredible high-quality footage from around the world. From the sunrise at 10,000 feet from the rim of Haleakala Crater on Maui, to gliding down high-walled gorges of China’s Yangtze River before the dam, The Window Channel’s Ventana programming creates an engaging environment that transforms television into a conversation piece and a natural visual extension of the patient experience.

In order to help calm younger patients during their hospital stay, The Window Channel offers content specifically designed for children. KIDS WORLD programming provides a calming, yet fun interactive video experience for children as well as family. KIDS WORLD includes three program segments geared for distinct age groups and attention spans. Each program is designed to enthrall, engage and entertain while reinforcing a child’s self worth and well-being.

“We are proud to partner with TVRC,” said Jim Wilmer, The Window Channel CEO. “Through its long-term heritage, TVRC has developed very strong customer relationships with many hospitals. Now, our partnership offers people an environmental experience wherever they call home, even if home is a temporary hospital stay.”
