FRISCO, Texas, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Careington International Corporation, a national leader in health and wellness benefits for over 45 years, announced this week the sale of its specialty division, Launch Loyalty, to Wellfit^® Technologies, Inc., (Wellfit), a healthcare technology platform innovator — a move that will allow Careington to strengthen its focus on core business areas and accelerate delivery of innovative solutions across its diverse client base, including employers, carriers, TPAs, Medicare Advantage companies, government entities, associations, unions, dental practices & Dental Service Organizations (DSOs), brokers & consultants and more.

Careington created its Launch Loyalty division in 2013 to strategically focus on customizing membership plans for dental practices and DSOs. Under Launch Loyalty's leadership, the brand expanded rapidly with its high-touch, client-centric service approach, gaining strong market recognition for its customizable, turnkey membership plan solutions.

Given Launch Loyalty's tremendous success and alignment with Welllfit's mission, the acquisition represents a strategic decision by Careington to ensure the continued growth of the brand under a company with the ability to focus on further expanding and growing the Launch Loyalty business.

"Wellfit Technologies' expertise and solution platform made them an ideal partner for our Launch Loyalty brand," said Stewart Sweda, CEO of Careington. "We are confident that Launch Loyalty will continue to grow and evolve as a market leader under Wellfit's stewardship."

Wellfit, known for its advanced, full-service, in-office membership plan solutions for dental, veterinary practices, and health and wellness spa customers, will retain the Launch Loyalty brand as Launch Loyalty powered by Wellfit. Careington and Wellfit will work together to integrate Wellfit's technology offerings to enhance customer and member experiences.

"We are very excited to strengthen our partnership with Careington. The Launch Loyalty acquisition immediately strengthens our product and service offerings, positioning Wellfit as a leader in membership plans across dental, veterinary, and wellness markets," said Fulton Collins, CEO of Wellfit Technologies. "It's a perfect strategic and cultural fit that accelerates our growth, adds over 1,000 office relationships and highlights how we're using technology to drive bold innovation."

Following this acquisition, Careington will further strengthen its focus on the continued development of its affiliate companies and numerous brands, with the goal to enhance the sustainability and success of each to keep pace with the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
