Tuesday September 11, 8:45 am ET

HORSHAM, Pa. – (BUSINESS WIRE) – National Health Partners, Inc. (OTCBB: NHPR - News), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that the recent debut of its highly anticipated CARExpress Plus health benefit programs has been a tremendous success.  The company has been completing sales of these innovative programs both to new members and to existing members who are upgrading from the company’s traditional CARExpress health discount programs.  In addition, the company has begun engaging in marketing and advertising campaigns to generate increased sales of its CARExpress Plus programs and has entered into agreements with several brokers and agents who are marketing the company’s CARExpress Plus programs to their clients.

The company is currently offering three standard CARExpress Plus programs to the public: CARExpress Plus Silver, CARExpress Plus Gold and CARExpress Plus Platinum.  Each program is available on both an individual and family basis and provides members with a much broader array of health benefits than the company’s traditional CARExpress health discount programs.  The retail prices of the company’s CARExpress Plus programs range between $99 and $228 for individuals and between $225 and $498 for families, compared to retail prices of between $9.95 and $39.95 for its traditional CARExpress health discount programs.  Sales of the more lucrative CARExpress Plus programs are expected to contribute greatly to the company’s future revenue growth, cash flow and profitability.

“We are very pleased with the warm reception our CARExpress Plus membership programs have received from the public,” stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners.  “We have experienced substantial interest in these programs by brokers, agents and small businesses and are generating an increasing number of sales of these programs.  Our primary focus going forward will be to generate increased sales of our CARExpress health discount programs and our CARExpress Plus programs by engaging in a variety of marketing and advertising campaigns.  We have already initiated some of these campaigns and are currently conducting a promotional campaign with our existing CARExpress members through which we are offering incentives for them to upgrade their existing memberships to CARExpress Plus memberships.  We are very encouraged by the fact that some of our members have already elected to upgrade their memberships.”

Mr. Daniels added, “We are very excited with the consistent and rapid growth that we have achieved over the past few years and, more importantly, with the accelerating revenue growth and profitability that we are expecting in the future.  We have experienced a significant increase in sales of our traditional CARExpress health discount programs over the past couple of months and intend to build on this momentum through sales of our CARExpress Plus programs.  We believe that this will create substantial value for our shareholders.”
