Dr. Ty Stone, president of Cleveland State Community College, has been named the 2023 Cleveland Woman of Impact Award winner.
The recognition by the American Heart Association, devoted to a world of healthier lives for all, is awarded annually to the Woman of Impact nominee who earns the most points during a 9-week fundraising and heart health education drive.
As part of the American Heart Association’s long-standing Go Red for Women movement, Stone earned the award for leading her team to raise $3,000 and participate in mission-impact activities for the American Heart Association’s signature women’s initiative.
