The Fisher House™ Program

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often

travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.

Guest who are lodgers must meet the standards established in the Medical Center. It states: "A veteran who reports to this Medical Center for treatment and is held over for personal convenience of the VA Medical Center, may be furnished lodging for either medical and/or administrative reasons. The veterans must be able to complete the activities of daily living independently and not require nursing or medical intervention before or after treatment." A caregiver can assist with making the veteran independent and without need for nursing or medical intervention.

Your Health Care provider must submit a consult request for lodging. Guest/Veteran will be then be placed on a waiting list and will be notified if space becomes available. If a tentative lodger has not received a confirmation call, it is good to call one day prior to the planned arrival to determine if a room is available at (513) 475-6571.
