HORSHAM, Pa., Jun 19, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NHPR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- National Health Partners, Inc. (OTCBB:NHPR), a leading provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs, announced today that it has entered into a relationship with a large, Michigan-based restaurant association comprised of more than 4,500 food service establishments.

The restaurant association is a non-profit association that assists, represents, promotes, and educates the foodservice industry by providing its members with information and advice, money saving programs and networking opportunities with their peers in the industry. The foodservice industry plays an integral role in Michigan's economy, employing more than 423,000 people and creating more than $12.8 billion in total annual sales. The association uses a variety of methods to market products, services and information to its members, including a magazine, newsletters, its website and several online resources. The company will be using the association's resources to market its CARExpress health discount programs and CARExpress Plus membership programs to the association's 4,500 member companies.

"We are very pleased to have entered into a relationship with this restaurant association," stated David M. Daniels, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Health Partners. "Restaurant employees are an ideal target group for us since they rarely receive any type of health benefits from their employers. Thus, this association provides us with a substantial revenue opportunity since most of the individuals employed by the association's members do not have health benefits. We will pursue this opportunity aggressively to maximize the number of members that we obtain through the association."
