Coro Medical Partners with Project ADAM to Enhance Community Heart Safety

In an inspiring collaboration, Coro Medical has teamed up with Project ADAM to donate 31 life-saving automated external defibrillators (AEDs) throughout August, benefiting schools and community organizations across 23 states in the United States. This initiative is part of Coro Medical’s ambitious Project AED365, which aims to donate one AED for each day of the year, thereby making these crucial devices readily available where they are most needed.

The announcement made by Coro Medical, a prominent player in the field of life-saving medical devices, emphasizes the importance of heart safety, especially for children and young athletes. The partnership seeks to safeguard individuals against sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a leading cause of death that can occur without warning. With 31 AEDs now placed in various communities, the project marks a significant stride toward empowering organizations to respond effectively during cardiac emergencies.

Alli Thompson, the National Administrator of Project ADAM at Children’s Wisconsin/Herma Heart Institute, expressed gratitude for Coro Medical’s support, stating, “Through this initiative in 2025 alone, we have been able to donate 31 AEDs in 23 states across the US! Our Project ADAM leaders are experts in supporting schools and community organizations to become Project ADAM Heart Safe.” This collaboration not only provides the life-saving devices but also a comprehensive approach to ensuring that communities are prepared in case of a medical emergency involving cardiac arrest.

Project ADAM, which was established in 1999 following the tragic death of 17-year-old Adam Lemel from sudden cardiac arrest, has been instrumental in designating over 6,000 schools as “Heart Safe” institutions. The program has reportedly saved at least 250 lives by integrating AEDs and emergency response plans into the fabric of school and community activities. The partnership between Coro Medical and Project ADAM signifies a shared commitment to continuity in these efforts, expanding access to AEDs and enhancing community safety.

Each AED donation through the Project AED365 initiative not only includes a state-of-the-art ZOLL AED 3 but also encompasses three years of Pro Program Management and certifications in CPR and first aid. Furthermore, recipients receive a LifeVac anti-choking device, ensuring comprehensive training and preparedness for handling emergencies effectively. By equipping organizations with these tools, both Coro Medical and Project ADAM hope to reduce barriers to accessing life-saving technology.

Coro Medical’s CEO, Travis Harris, expressed his pride in being part of such a meaningful cause: “We are honored to have partnered with Project ADAM, which has made a profound impact on heart safety in schools and communities across the nation.” His words encapsulate the essence of collaboration and shared vision that drives both organizations toward improving public health outcomes.

Moreover, communities interested in acquiring an AED are encouraged to visit smartheartaeds.com/project-aed365 for the opportunity to apply for a free device. This open call aims to further extend the reach of the initiative and ensure that life-saving equipment is accessible to all, reinforcing the proactive approach necessary in safeguarding lives against SCA.

As Coro Medical and Project ADAM continue their efforts in promoting heart safety, the impact of their work will undoubtedly resonate in communities for years to come. With future donations planned and initiatives actively ongoing, the partnership between these two organizations exemplifies how collaboration can lead to significant advancements in community health and safety.
