Hana's story began with dreams of college and a passion for veterinary medicine. In 2016, during her first month at school, she faced a stroke and was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. Transported home on a medical flight, her life took an unexpected turn as she was swiftly placed on the heart transplant list. Amidst the challenges, Hana's spirit remained unwavering. During surgery to implant a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), she encountered another stroke, leading to a prolonged period of semi-consciousness. Yet, facing profound adversity, Hana emerged with a newfound determination to rebuild her life. She embarked on a journey of relearning—walking, talking, and navigating the world as a visually impaired individual. Through perseverance, she received the precious gift of a new heart in 2018, marking a turning point in her uphill struggle. Today, Hana embraces life with an energy that inspires and is dedicated to spreading the mission of the American Heart Association. Building a supportive network of women can be empowering; Hana encourages her community to prioritize their health. “After I got sick at the age of 18, I encouraged family members and friends to advocate for themselves and inspired them to take control of their heart health and know their risk factors,” said Hana. “My community has supported my family so much, and my team used that support to not only raise money for the American Heart Association through Woman of Impact, but also to amplify the mission and help spread awareness,” said Hana. Despite ongoing therapy and overcoming obstacles, she immerses herself in a myriad of activities—from taking classes to rock climbing, skiing, and throwing pottery. For Hana, each day is a cherished gift, proof of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community connection. Hana's heart is filled with gratitude, especially for the American Heart Association, whose support played a pivotal role in her journey. From valuable resources to vital research and a sense of community, the Association stood by her side every step of the way. “The American Heart Association is part of what saved Hana's life when she got sick seven years ago. We see how the Association has improved outcomes for people, including improvements in medications, devices, and medical research,” said Ali Hooper, Hana’s mother. As she commemorates the 5th anniversary of her heart transplant and celebrates 7 years as a stroke survivor, Hana's dedication remains relentless. In honoring these milestones, she is committed to advancing the American Heart Association’s mission to end heart disease, and through Go Red for Women, help ensure a healthy future for the next generation of women. “Being recognized as the Woman of Impact National Winner is incredible. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to spread awareness about women's heart health and help other women understand the risk factors that they face for heart disease. I am most proud of how we brought our whole community together,” said Hana. Hana Hooper's journey is not just a testament to her strength and resilience, but an ongoing dedication to improving the lives of the more than one in three women currently living with some form of cardiovascular disease1. Thank you, Hana, for your inspiration, bravery, and dedication to saving lives across the country. --- Meet the 2024 Woman of Impact Centennial Club Join us in celebrating our 2024 Woman of Impact Centennial Club nominees!
