CorSolutions Medical, Inc., the nation's leading provider of proactive chronic care management solutions, announced the appointment and arrival of Thomas J. Hannon, to the position of chief financial officer and senior vice president.

Mr. Hannon joins CorSolutions immediately with educational and professional credentials that are an ideal complement. He comes to CorSolutions from Everest Healthcare Services Corporation, a $250 million provider of dialysis and blood treatment services with 80 locations in 13 states, where he held the position of controller. There, he directed financial operations for the dialysis services division which generated 90 percent of the company's revenue. The time at Everest provided Mr. Hannon with strong entrepreneurial experience in a field similar to CorSolutions. Mr. Hannon's accomplishments with Everest were significant. He helped prepare the company for an initial public equity offering which was superseded by the company's successful sale to Fresenius Medical Care. He participated in due diligence, financial analysis and integration of 15 key acquisitions valued at more than $80 million, functioned as interim chief operating officer, and improved cash flow by more than $15 million.

Prior to Everest, Mr. Hannon worked for Baxter International for ten years where he held positions including director of finance and director of treasury operations. He had exposure to an array of technical and strategic areas including experience in financial reporting for public companies. Additionally, he had significant management responsibilities.

Prior to Baxter, Mr. Hannon served as a senior auditor at Deloitte and Touche in Chicago. He earned a Bachelors of Science in Accounting from Northern Illinois University and is a Certified Public Accountant. "Tom has a strong background, relevant to our business. We have high respect for the wealth of experience he is bringing to our company. Most importantly, he personally is the type of individual who will fit into our company's culture.
