Dear US AHA Training Network, The AHA is excited to announce that the Atlas enhancements will go live on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. As a reminder, we provided information about these upcoming changes in email communications on August 29 and October 9. Here’s what to expect leading up to the release of these updates, as well as how to prepare your Training Center and Instructors for the changes using our training materials and resources. Atlas Website Outage: In preparation for the changes, Atlas.heart.org is expected to be down beginning the evening of October 21, 2024, at approximately 8:00 p.m., Central Time. It is estimated that the site will be back up the morning of October 22, 2024, by approximately 7:00 a.m., Central Time. Please plan accordingly.
