Rachel Etter and Priscilla Gibson will seek to advance heart health and raise lifesaving funds with the American Heart Association as members of the organization's Lancaster/Lebanon 2023 Woman of Impact class. Etter is the director of cardiology services for WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital. Gibson is a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Realty.

The Woman of Impact class members are nominated by their peers because of their passion and drive to make a difference in the community and raise awareness of women's cardiovascular health. The Woman of Impact program is an extension of the American Heart Association's longstanding Go Red for Women movement, a comprehensive platform designed to increase women's heart health awareness and serve as a catalyst for change to improve the lives of women globally.

Beginning on National Wear Red Day, Feb. 3, hundreds of Woman of Impact nominees nationwide embarked on a journey to help transform the health of women. Each week, nominees and their Impact Teams, made up of friends or family members, will participate in activities designed to create a culture of wellness and health equity. Activities may include educational events, learning and spreading the word about CPR, getting active and recruiting women to participate in research. Nominees and their Impact Teams also raise funds for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement.

On Thursday, April 6, the woman whose team has the greatest number of impact points - awarded through a combination of fundraising and mission impact activities - will be named Lancaster/Lebanon 2023 Woman of Impact Award winner. The winner will be recognized at the Lancaster/Lebanon Go Red for Women Luncheon on Wednesday, May 24, at the Mount Hope Estate in Manheim.
