SASH

SASH is a nationally recognized, team-based program of care coordination shown to improve population health, save Medicare dollars and help people stay (or become) healthy so they can remain living at home. Operating from 200 affordable-housing communities throughout Vermont, SASH partners with more than 70 organizations to provide comprehensive support to 5,000 older Vermonters and people with disabilities. Programs and services are provided free of charge where participants live. SASH is part of Vermont’s initiative to reform health care by investing in wellness and attending to the social determinants of health, including housing.
SASH was created in 2009 by the nonprofit housing organization Cathedral Square. The program has been available free statewide since 2011. Since SASH has been in place, we have seen an increase in controlled hypertension, increased advanced directives in place, reduced falls, and reduced emergency room usage to name a few. SASH provides creative solutions to preventative health in our aging population.https://sashvt.org/
