ANNOUNCES SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN     
NUMBER OF BROKERS MARKETING CAREXPRESS  

HORSHAM, Pa - (BUSINESS WIRE) -   National Health Partners, Inc. (OTCBB: NHPR - News), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that it has experienced a substantial increase in the number of broker groups marketing its CARExpress health discount programs and CARExpress Plus programs to businesses, associations and other organizations.

The number of broker groups marketing the company's CARExpress programs has more than doubled over a period of just a few months.  Equally impressive is that just one of these broker groups has over 150 licensed brokers who are beginning to actively market the company's CARExpress programs to their respective clients.  Broker groups are a very effective method of targeting affinity groups and small businesses because, as licensed professionals, they are perceived by these organizations as very knowledgeable about the products and services they are selling.

"As I previously noted, we are experiencing a very strong interest in our programs from many corporations, unions, associations and other groups which is driving our accelerating growth," stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners.  "As a result, we are beginning to experience a very strong interest in our CARExpress programs by brokers since these are the typical clients that brokers service.  Sales through brokers are one of the best ways for us to generate substantial sales of our CARExpress programs to organizations of all sizes." 

"Our broker network is a very important source of affinity groups and small businesses for us," continued Mr. Daniels.  "These groups and businesses provide us with large numbers of members who have excellent retention rates.  The more brokers that we have, the more groups and businesses we will capture, particularly with respect to our CARExpress Plus programs since the large majority of health insurance programs are sold through brokers.  This will all reflect itself in our future revenue and cash flows.  We are very pleased that we are gaining such remarkable traction with broker groups across the country."
