Zachary 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.
