Angel Carter is the Program Coordinator at Vanderbilt University of Project ADAM. Brad Rohling is the Middle Tennessee Region Representative of TATS and Athletic Training Coordinator for Rutherford County Schools.
Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam's Memory) began in 1999 after the death of Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old Whitefish Bay, WI, high school student who collapsed and died while playing basketball. Adam suffered a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), in which ventricular fibrillation occurred, a condition in which the ventricles cannot pump blood into the body. Defibrillation, or an AED, could have saved his life.
Adam's parents, Patty Lemel-Clanton and Joe Lemel, collaborated with Children's Hospital of Wisconsin’s Herma Heart Institute to create this program in Adam's memory.
