CORAZON OPENS SECOND OFFICE LOCATION IN FLORIDA

Pittsburgh, PA — April 5, 2007—Corazon Inc. (Corazon), a leading provider of specialized consulting and recruitment services to hospitals for the development of cardiac and vascular programs, has announced the opening of a second office location in Plantation, Florida.

Since the Pittsburgh-based company’s founding over six years ago, Corazon has become a nationally-recognized leader in strategy and development for cardiac and vascular programs, assisting hundreds of clients in 36 states across the country. The team of Heart and Vascular Experts combines clinical and business acumen to capture new market and revenue opportunities that are driven by excellence in cardiovascular services.

The firm spent several months evaluating the feasibility of opening a second location; and, given the pending changes to Florida regulations for cardiovascular services and the growing older population with a greater need for heart and vascular care, Corazon determined that Florida was an optimal location to initiate a new office.

According to Corazon’s President, Karen Hartman , “We are so excited about the expansion of our Pittsburgh-based firm to a second location. We felt the time was right, and Florida was the right place…The state is very similar to Pennsylvania ; with the regulatory changes on the horizon, building a local presence will benefit the hospitals in that part of the country needing our services…”

To date, Corazon has hired a Regional Manager for the office, located near Ft. Lauderdale, and has dedicated resources from Pittsburgh to help facilitate growth. Hiring for additional staff is currently underway.
