Miami-Dade County School Board vice chair Monica Colucci proffered agenda item B-10, recognizing Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Heart Institute Project ADAM during the school board meeting of Apr. 17.
Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Heart Institute and Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) collaborated to equip school staff and coaches with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) skills to respond quickly and efficiently in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and help certify M-DCPS as “Heart Safe,” which includes successful completion of practice drills with the Nicklaus South Florida Project ADAM team.
Project ADAM South Florida is a team of clinicians from Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Heart Institute who are committed to helping schools implement and sustain lifesaving training and education to school faculty and community organizations where young people are present.
In Miami-Dade County, there are more than 300 certified “Heart Safe Schools” and 17 Recreational Park Teams that can successfully activate a sudden cardiac arrest program and an effective emergency response to promote a safe environment for students, visitors, and staff.
“I was proud to present a proclamation to the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital team for training staff in our schools with lifesaving skills to respond to sudden cardiac arrest,” said Vice Chair Colucci. “Our top priority will always be the safety and well-being of our students and this partnership is a testament to that commitment.”
This resolution recognizes Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Heart Institute team for implementing and certifying all Miami-Dade County Public Schools as “Heart Safe,” in April.
