We have much to celebrate in this issue of the SASH Impact -- especially the awesome vaccination work of SASH teams throughout Vermont, including @downstreetvt and @RuralEdge. Great to be moving into summer and taking off the masks! https://t.co/EJMPrv0PTH

New data from the @NIHCMFoundation reinforces the perils of loneliness and isolation. SASH has always assessed participants for loneliness at least once a year; but since the pandemic started, addressing this issue has become one of our top priorities. https://t.co/xfXq2y8UN8

Important piece in @vtdigger by Mary Hayden of the @CVCOA, one of the 5 AAA partners in SASH, noting the pandemic has revealed "how the societal structures that support . . . older Americans and protect them from harm are shakier than we thought." https://t.co/5PboGZwGhg
