CONYERS, Ga., March 23, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- During the recent AAMGA Automation Show held at the InterContinental Hotel in Buckhead, GA, ImageRight sponsored a reception from which all proceeds were donated to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA).
"Our interest in supporting this association first began when a valued employee, co-worker and friend, Kerry Bardorf, was diagnosed with this disease," said Mike Jansen, CEO for ImageRight. "Kerry's passing prompted our first donation as a company. We lost someone very special to us, and now show support of PHA whenever possible in the hope that someday research and medicine will conquer this debilitating disease."
ImageRight, a Conyers, Ga.-based provider of insurance-specific content management and workflow solutions, will make an additional lump sum donation of $60,000 to support the information and support the PHA offers patients and their families. Pulmonary hypertension, or PH, is a disease that affects people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. PH is a simplified name for a complex health problem of which the main symptom is high blood pressure in the lungs. PH is rare condition that results from damage to the pulmonary arteries. While there is no cure yet, new treatments are extending and enhancing the lives of patients.
ImageRight is committed to supporting the PHA's efforts towards finding a cure. ImageRight's $60,000 lump sum donation represents a $1,000 contribution on behalf of the company for each new insurance company client signed during the course of the last year.
"Kerry Bardorf was a wonderful young woman whose response to this terrible illness was to become involved with PHA and the fight for a better future," said Rino Aldrighetti, president of PHA. "After her passing in 2005, her memory forged an ongoing link between ImageRight and PHA. There have been extraordinary advances in what was essentially an untreatable illness only a decade ago, but there is much more to be done. PHA is deeply grateful to our friends at ImageRight for their generosity and their commitment to our common cause."
