HORSHAM, Pa. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - National Health Partners, Inc. (National Health) (OTCBB: NHPR - News), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that it has generated more than 2,000 new members through the agreement that it recently entered into with a national healthcare provider. 

The healthcare provider has already sold more than 2,000 of the company's CARExpress programs during the month of April and expects to generate more than 3,000 new members per month for the company starting in May.  The healthcare provider implemented an aggressive national sales campaign earlier this month that it will be ramping up during the month of May and will continue the campaign throughout the remainder of 2009 and into 2010.  The campaign is already having a dramatic impact on the company's revenue and cash flows for Q2 2009.  The company believes that the healthcare provider's sales campaign could generate more than 30,000 new members for the company during 2009. 

"We are very excited that we have achieved the sales projections that we recently announced earlier this month through this healthcare provider," stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners.  "This is a testament to the quality of the sales campaign that is currently underway and the professional manner with which it is being conducted by the healthcare provider.  Our customer service staff has spoken with several of the new members that this healthcare provider has generated for us this month and the members are very happy with our CARExpress programs.  We hope to generate additional sales as these new members communicate the benefits of CARExpress to their friends and family."

 "As I indicated in our previous press release, we are in the process of closing several new deals and are beginning to generate sales through some new business partners that will help us achieve our Q2 2009 and full 2009 year projections," continued Mr. Daniels.  "Most notable on this front is that we are generating an increasing number of sales of our CARExpress Plus programs through a national insurance agency that expects to produce more than 500 sales of our CARExpress Plus programs per month throughout 2009.  We will be issuing a press release shortly that will describe this deal in greater detail and expect to make several new announcements during the upcoming weeks as we close a number of other opportunities that we are working on."
