Journal Articles & Studies
SASH has been featured in a number of national journal articles and research studies since its launch in 2011. These studies and publications have examined the impact of SASH and its role in improving the health and well-being of participants while also reducing health care costs and helping people remain living at home as they age, postponing or entirely eliminating the need for long-term care.
The focus on SASH in these publications is a testament to the program’s data-driven, evidence-based approach to keeping older adults healthy and independent.
