(Silver Spring, MD) Discovery Channel in collaboration with UPMC will premiere a health documentary, LIFE CHANGING MEDICINE, that profiles life changing innovations in heart surgery for children, muscle-restoring regenerative medicine for wounded warriors, high-tech sports medicine, and life saving operations for babies still inside their mothers' wombs.

This documentary is part of a series of collaborations between Discovery Channel and UPMC this past year. These include over 50 podcasts to help educate physicians on the latest medical information on a wide variety of topics such as cancer care, heart disease, and women's health.

Our partnership gives us an opportunity to educate consumers about the advancements in medicine and technology that are both forward-looking and practical" states Dr. Whyte.

It's a rare opportunity to collaborate on a program that highlights the often groundbreaking and life changing care that we deliver every day to our patients.
