Weatherford ISD Recognized as one of 15 Project ADAM Heart Safe School Districts in Texas
Sarah Thieroff, Project ADAM Texas Coordinator for Cook Children’s Heart Center, was on hand at the December school board meeting to announce that Weatherford ISD has been named a Project ADAM Texas Heart Safe School District.
Out of 1,247 school district in Texas, Weatherford ISD is one of only 15 school districts and 434 schools in Texas to achieve this designation.
Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam’s Memory) is a national non-profit program intended to help schools in all communities build CPR-AED or Public Access Defibrillator programs. Project ADAM’s mission is to prevent sudden cardiac death in schools through awareness, education and training on Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the critical need for a timely response.
As a recognized Project ADAM Texas Heart Safe School District, each Weatherford ISD school commits to conducting an annual all staff awareness training on sudden cardiac death that includes warning signs, recognition, communication procedures and other staff roles. In addition, each school will participate in ongoing cardiac emergency response or AED drills.
Working with our campus nurses, we have designated a Cardiac Emergency Response team at each school. This team has been trained in CPR and AED use and an implementation plan in the event of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Cook Children’s proudly recognizes Weatherford ISD as a Project ADAM Texas Heart Safe School District for completing a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan for prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death on school property.
