MISSION VIEJO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 28, 2008 -- Aperture Health, Inc. (OTC BB:APRE.OB - News), a provider of market-based wellness solutions, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with The Word & Brown General Agency, a division of The Word & Brown Companies, to provide online wellness and savings programs to small and mid-sized companies.

"We are pleased to be the centerpiece of Word & Brown's BeneSaver program, which will be made available to the 55,000 employers and more than 6 million people it services across the United States," commented Mr. Thomas Banks, Aperture Health's Chairman and CEO. "As a result of our combined offerings, these companies will no longer have to pay for comprehensive wellness programs."

Under the terms of an alliance agreement, Aperture Health will provide Word & Brown, on a non-exclusive basis, with access to and use of its wellness360 program, a sophisticated and robust online wellness and health management resource which financially rewards employees for ongoing participation in the wellness program. Word & Brown will feature the Company's wellness360 program as the hallmark of its new BeneSaver program, an online wellness and savings program for small and mid-sized companies wanting to offer employees some of the same perks found at larger corporations.

"BeneSaver helps consumers at a time when more and more employers are being forced to cut-back or drop their benefits programs," commented James Greth, Senior Vice President of the Word & Brown General Agency. "This is the only program of its kind that is not dependent on maintaining insurance. Many health plans offer similar programs, but these can go away if the employer or employee drops or switches coverage."
