Summary

This study tests a 10-week community-based program called COPD Wellness, which combines exercise, education, and social support to help people with COPD feel better and move more easily. Some participants also get help from a Health Advocate to address social needs like transportation or housing. The goal is to see if this approach can improve walking ability and quality of life in vulnerable patients who often lack access to standard pulmonary rehab.
