Thank You for Making Our 2025 Impact Summit a Success

Yesterday’s AHE Impact Summit brought together more than 125 attendees, friends, leaders, and residents, united by a shared commitment to advancing health equity and strengthening our community.

From the inspiring opening by State Representative Dan Williams to a thought-provoking panel discussion, nine engaging workshops, therapy dogs, and a vibrant resource fair with more than ten community tables, the day highlighted the power of collaboration and connection.

"Many thanks to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Impact Summit, our first and largest annual event of the year. The panels, workshops, and networking were meaningful, but the day was about more than a program - it was about sparking hope that, together, we can build communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We’re deeply grateful for the community’s support, energy, and commitment to wellbeing; your dedication is what made this day truly special." Aiza Ashraf, AHE's Senior Vice President.

We extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors, KeyBank, Presence Bank, and Rick and Debra Clark, for helping make this impactful event possible.

Together, we continue to build a stronger, healthier Greater Coatesville.
