Project ADAM Austin at Dell Children’s

Project ADAM Austin at Dell Children’s aims to increase awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and help schools establish an emergency response team, plan and an AED drill to ensure a timely, lifesaving response. We educate school systems, nurses, coaches, trainers and parents on sudden cardiac death and help implement public access defibrillator programs across Texas.
