THE FISHER HOUSE PROGRAM PROVIDES a home away from home for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers. The homes provide temporary, free lodging so families can be close to their loved ones during a medical crisis. Fisher Houses create an instant community for their residents, while also providing each family with a safe and inviting refuge after a long day to rest and recharge.
