2024 Project ADAM National Conference

Wednesday, May 1, 2024, 7:30 AM - Friday, May 3, 2024, 11:30 AM, Big Slick Auditorium (CMRI), Kansas City, MO

Project ADAM is a national program with 42 hospital-sponsored affiliates across the country in 32 states. As a group, we have become a cornerstone in the fight against sudden cardiac death in the young. Project ADAM is the sole resource on implementing school-based sudden cardiac death prevention and response programs coast to coast. This model for sudden cardiac death prevention has saved over 200 lives throughout Project ADAM schools nationwide. It has also spilled over to many communities outside the schools where AED implementation, CPR training and increased awareness have become embedded throughout our regions.  

We hope you will join us for our annual Project ADAM National Conference where national affiliates, advocates and partners from across the country converge to discuss ideas, share successes, and develop future goals.
