SASH

Supports and Services at Home (SASH), a Vermont Blueprint for Health statewide partnership healthcare reform initiative, is responsible for the implementation and management of the health and human services program intended to improve the health and decrease the healthcare expenditures among older individuals and individuals with disabilities in Vermont so they can remain in their homes. SASH teams throughout the State extend the work of the Blueprint for Health's Community Health Teams and primary care providers by providing targeted support and in-home services at Vermont's affordable housing sites and surrounding communities. SASH relies on formalized regional connections between many organizations including hospitals, VNAs, AAAs, Housing Agencies, Community Mental Health Agencies, as well as universities and other health programs.
