Implementing a Physical Wellness Program in Spanish in a Primary Care Setting

This paper presents a Quality Improvement project aimed at increasing physical activity in Hispanic patients aged 45 to 55, through a Get Active program with the goal of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The project involves implementing a bi-weekly physical activity session as well as a Zoom session to increase activity as well awareness surrounding CVD prevention. The project's outcomes will inform medical staff on how to create more Zoom sessions to help patients implement a physical exercise program. A total of twenty-five participants were eligible to participate, and only 8 took part in the study. This initiative has the potential to make a significant impact on public health by reducing the incidence of CVD among the Hispanic population.
