“Project ADAM” unites affiliate hospitals such as Texas Children’s with area schools to help them become better prepared to respond to Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The 15 Aldine ISD campuses that attended the Dec. 18 event earned their Heart Safe designation thanks to their successful implementation of a quality sudden cardiac arrest program of awareness, training and effective emergency response to promote a heart safe environment for students, staff and visitors.

The 15 Aldine ISD campuses that participated in “Project ADAM” were: Carroll Elementary School, Victory Early College High School, Reed Elementary School, Nimitz Ninth Grade School, Nimitz High School, Plummer Middle School, Jones Primary School, Aldine Ninth Grade School, Grantham Middle School, MacArthur High School, Garcia-Leza Primary School, MacArthur Ninth Grade School, Escamilla Elementary School, Stehlik Elementary School and Hambrick Middle School.

Maisha Guillory, Aldine ISD’s program director of health services, helped coordinate the program with Texas Children’s and the 15 Aldine ISD schools.

Joining Guillory and staff from the 15 Aldine campuses at the event were representatives from Texas Children’s Hospital, the American Heart Association and the Harris County Emergency Corps.
