Confero has made it our mission over the past few years to get involved in raising awareness about heart disease in women.  Earlier this year Confero staff members participated in National Wear Red Day by wearing red and attending a CPR information session. 

On Friday, May 6^thConfero sponsored the Triangle Go Red For Women Luncheon at the Sheraton in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Our staff members spent time attending seminars on these topics: Heart Healthy Cooking, CPR Training and Know Your Heart Health.

Customer Experience Measurement Firm Supports Event To Raise Awareness Of Heart Disease As Leading Cause Of Death For Women

CARY, N.C. – Elaine Buxton, president and CEO of Confero, Inc. (https://www.conferoinc.com), a national customer experience measurement firm, has announced that the firm will be a corporate sponsor for the 4^th annual Triangle Goes Red for Women Luncheon, scheduled for Friday, May 6 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel, located at 421 S. Salisbury St. With a goal to increase awareness of heart disease, the number one cause of death for women, and to encourage preventative measures that lower the risk of heart disease, the Triangle Goes Red for Women Luncheon will include educational breakout sessions, a meet-and-greet, a heart-healthy lunch and a keynote address.

The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women “National Wear Red Day” is Friday, February 4th. Each year, thousands of organizations across the country, including Confero, participate in different ways to help raise awareness of heart disease in women.  Heart disease is the number one killer of women: 1 in 3 women die from the disease each year.  The disease sometimes presents differently in women so many women do not seek medical attention quickly enough. The Go Red for Women campaign seeks to educate women (and men) about the signs and symptoms of heart disease in women. Through creating awareness and raising funds, companies help make a difference in the fight against heart disease.

Confero is pleased to sponsor the “Triangle Goes Red for Women” Luncheon again this coming year, which will be held on May 6, 2011 at the Sheraton in Raleigh.  Elaine Buxton, Confero CEO and President, serves on the Triangle Go Red for Women Executive Leadership Team, which leads local efforts to raise awareness of heart disease in women.
