What's New!

Congress has declared June 1-7 as National Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillator Awareness Week. Celebrate this week by helping increase awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and the importance of CPR and AED training.

Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam's Memory) is a not-for-profit program of Herma Heart Center at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. The mission of the program is to serve children and adolescents through education and deployment of life-saving programs that help prevent sudden cardiac arrest.

Project ADAM began in 1999 after a series of sudden deaths among high school athletes in southeastern Wisconsin. Many of these deaths appear due to ventricular fibrillation. After Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old Whitefish Bay, Wis., high school student, collapsed and died while playing basketball, Adam's parents - Patty Lemel and Joe Lemel - along with David Ellis, a childhood friend of Adam's, collaborated with Children's Hospital of Wisconsin to create this program in Adam's memory.
