About

This webpage describes Project ADAM, a program that helps schools and communities be ready to respond to sudden cardiac arrest. The project teaches people how to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and perform CPR. It also helps schools create emergency plans so they can act quickly if someone’s heart stops. By spreading awareness and training, Project ADAM aims to save lives by making sure help is available right away during heart emergencies.
