What is Woman of Impact?

Woman of Impact calls on changemakers to take bold action for women’s heart health.

Join a powerful, nationwide movement improving the lives of women in every community we serve.

Driven by Purpose. Over a nine-week competition, you and your Impact Team will raise awareness and funds for lifesaving research, advocacy and education. The nominee who makes the greatest local impact is named their city’s Woman of Impact and the top nominee nationwide earns the title of Go Red for Women’s National Woman of Impact Winner.

Focused on Impact. Your voice, your leadership and your impact can help rewrite the future of women’s heart health — because heart disease doesn’t wait, and neither do we.

Congratulations 2025 National Woman of Impact Winner, Kat Ascencio-Holmes!
