The inadequate and/or outdated knowledge base is not limited to the general populations; it may in fact affect health care providers, where only one in five physicians know that heart disease is the number one killer of women.
Clearly this was wrong because it's a nationally known fact that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States. I couldn't imagine where the previous author had come up with such a thing, so I Googled it.
The closest thing I encountered was this link for an article posted on Freedom Years website, but the actual statistic listed here was that "one in five physicians knew more women died from heart disease each year than men."
Completely different from what was posted on our website. It was a sloppy mistake by the previous writer, and it's embarrassing to have on a site representing your organization.
When creating something to represent your product or organization, you can never be too careful. A huge mistake can make you look foolish and lazy. If you don't have enough time transfer a statistic properly, how is your company run?
I also just came across the word 'thru' on the website. Yes, the same website the public has been viewing for awhile now. Needless to say the individual who wrote all of this no longer works here.
Sheesh.
