Pittsburgh, PA, September 7, 2007—Corazon, Inc. (Corazon), a nationally-recognized firm offering specialized consulting and recruitment services to hospitals for the development of cardiac and vascular programs, has again been named to the “Pittsburgh 100” List of the fastest-growing privately-owned companies in the southwestern Pennsylvania region.

Sponsored nationally by the BizJournals, and by The Pittsburgh Business Times locally, the “Pittsburgh 100” list ranks area for-profit companies based on revenue growth over a three-year period.

According to Karen Hartman, President, “Corazon is pleased and proud of our position on this prestigious list. Over the last three years, we’ve made many positive changes to our firm, which have no doubt been beneficial to our growth. We are excited for what lies ahead and hope to improve on our position again in 2008.”

Corazon was founded in 2001 by Jackie Johnson, the CEO of the 26-person firm. “It’s great to share in the entrepreneurial spirit of the thriving business community in our hometown,” said Johnson.

Corazon accepted the Award at an August 23 Reception at the Duquesne Club in downtown Pittsburgh , surrounded by representatives from the 99 other growing firms in the area.
