In collaboration with Live HealthSmart Alabama’s mobile wellness clinics and mobile market, Bre and Li’an developed a series of health literacy–focused exercise handouts designed for individuals to use at home with minimal equipment. The project began with a needs-based assessment and informal community conversations to better understand barriers to physical activity. Using these insights, they created six targeted handouts — covering upper body, lower body, core, chair-based exercises, cardio/endurance, and flexibility — along with a concise provider summary to help bridge the gap between clinical guidance and patient action. Throughout the year, Bre and Li’an engaged patients in ongoing, conversational education during clinic shifts to ensure the materials were practical, accessible, and relevant. As a result, underserved populations in Birmingham gained easy-to-use, expert-informed tools to support physical activity, while providers were equipped with integrated resources to reinforce lifestyle changes.
