Health Partners, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), with the

         In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Articles

provided to us by the Company to be accurate and complete, each such document
that is an original is authentic, each such document that is a copy conforms to
an authentic original, and all signatures on each document are genuine.

         Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

                  A. The shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration
         Statement that are currently issued and outstanding have been duly
         authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and

                  B. The shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration
         Statement that are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants
         have been duly authorized and, upon exercise in accordance with the
         terms thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
