❤️ Empowering Students to Protect Heart Health

Project ADAM New York, in partnership with Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, New York Medical College, and In A Heartbeat A Heartbeat, recently provided EKG heart screenings along with CPR/AED education and hands‑on training to 55 students at Rye Country Day School in Rye, NY.

The event also included blood pressure screenings offered through Westchester Medical Center’s Mobile Medical Unit.

Together, these activities highlighted the importance of heart health and equipped students with the confidence and skills to respond during emergencies involving sudden cardiac arrest.

When nine-year-old Mason collapsed at school, his mother, Jennifer, was thrown into every parent’s worst fear.

After a frightening experience at a local emergency room and unanswered questions, Mason was transferred to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. From the moment they arrived, everything changed. The team stabilized Mason, took the time to explain what was happening, and began the specialized testing needed to uncover the real cause.

Doctors diagnosed Mason with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, an extremely rare condition in children
that had previously been mistaken for asthma. Under the care of Dr. Erika Rosenzweig Berman and the pediatric cardiac team, Mason received targeted treatment, providing his family with clarity, confidence, and hope.

Jennifer now calls herself a lifelong champion of Maria Fareri, sharing Mason’s story so other families know that expert pediatric cardiac care can make all the difference.

At Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, congenital heart conditions can be diagnosed as early as 8 weeks after the first heartbeat.

That early diagnosis allows care teams to plan ahead, coordinate delivery, and ensure specialized cardiac care is ready from the very beginning.

For expectant parents facing a heart diagnosis, having expert fetal cardiology care close to home can make all the difference.
