ABOUT FISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION The Fisher House program is a unique privatepublic 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 grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressul times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. There is at least one Fisher House at every major military medical center to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment. Annually, Fisher House program serves more than 25,000 families. Fisher House has made available over six million nights of lodging to family members since the program originated in 1990. No family pays to stay at any Fisher House! LEARN MORE ABOUT FISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION AT: WWW.FISHERHOUSE.ORG 9
