Lansdale, PA – March 23 2009: CRF Inc. (CRF), the electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) solutions company, today announced its re-brand to CRF Health, including a new look website and new marketing collateral.

With a new CEO and additions to the executive team, including Jeff Payne, CFO and Mary Briggs, VP of Global Sales and Marketing, CRF Health has an impressive growth strategy for 2009.  This period of reinvigoration has already been evidenced by a record growth for the leading ePRO solutions company, with 43 percent growth in new client contracts.  CRF Health is also strengthening its hold over the Asian and Asia Pacific regions with expansion into India and Japan.
