About  

PictureZachary Fisher and Elizabeth Fisher, Fisher House Foundation Co-Founders

The Fisher House Foundation initially builds the comfort homes where Military & Veteran families can stay free of charge, ​while a loved one is in the hospital.

These homes are located at military and VA medical centers around the world. As of February 2019, there have been 80 Fisher Houses built in the US, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Homes are then gifted to VA and Department of Defense, who assume responsibility for operations.  
​
Members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and often travel great distances for specialized medical care. These homes enable family members to be close to loved ones at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. 


​Washington State Fisher Houses At a Glance

​Friends of Fisher House Puget Sound was formed in 2006 to support the ongoing operations and families staying in the VA Puget Sound Fisher House in Seattle.


Today, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, our mission has expanded to all Fisher Houses in Washington State.


Friends of Fisher House Puget Sound is proud to support families staying in the VA Puget Sound, Joint Base Lewis McChord, and VA Portland (Vancouver, WA) Fisher Houses.
