"Nephron is excited for the recognition of being certified as a woman-owned business in October, the same month that salutes all things pink," says Mrs. Lou Kennedy, CEO and owner, "This certification allows us to develop new business opportunities with our existing customer base, which allows us to offer more jobs to capable women."
