Discovery Health Media Enterprises rolled out a host of new features for Discoveryhealth.com (www.discoveryhealth.com).

The company said the site now features more than 35 health centers, including a new Healthy Living section, as well as enhanced search functions for health and wellness information on the Web.

Discovery Health also debuted new 24-hour broadband channel Discovery Health Beyond, which rolled out with more than 500 short-form video clips showcasing “everything from expert advice, tips and chats to exclusive content highlighting news and trends in health care today,” the company said.
