Keeping families together while getting medical treatment. #fisherhouse

About us

The Fisher House program provides “a home away from home” for service members, veterans, and their families who are receiving medical treatment at a military or VA hospital. These special houses provide free temporary lodging, private suites, and are walking distance to the medical centers. The homes not only create an instant community for its residents, but also provide each family with a secure and private refuge after a long day to rest and recharge.

  • We are honored to highlight the incredible generosity and dedication of Beazer Homes during their Beazer Day of Service! Across 17 Fisher House locations, Beazer’s team members rolled up their sleeves landscaping, painting, cleaning, organizing, and even making blankets, to ensure our houses feel like home for military and veteran families facing medical crisis. But their commitment doesn't stop there. Beazer Homes embodies a 360-degree approach to giving, offering their time, talents, and treasure to support our mission. Through their efforts, they’ve raised over $3 million to help us continue providing comfort and care to families when they need it most.   From every freshly painted wall to every dollar raised, Beazer’s impact is felt deeply by the families who walk through our doors. Thank you, Beazer Homes, for your unwavering support and for making a difference in the lives of those who serve our country. #DayofService #FisherHouse #veterans #military #family #BeazerHomes

  • In honor of Women's History Month, we celebrate the contributions of women in all areas, including the military. While many military and veteran memorials recognize service without distinction, there are also memorials across the country dedicated specifically to the women who have served and sacrificed. These memorials tell powerful stories of courage, resilience, and leadership. This month, take a moment to explore these important sites through the Memorials and Monuments database and honor the women who’ve shaped history. https://lnkd.in/eThE48ds via The American Legion #WomensHistory #veterans #service #WomenInHistory #military #militaryfamily #FisherHouse #support #service

  • When medical emergencies take military and veteran families far from home, Fisher House Foundation’s Hotels for Heroes program ensures they have a place to stay—at no cost. While Fisher Houses provide no-cost lodging near military and VA medical centers, sometimes a Fisher House isn’t available. That’s where Hotels for Heroes steps in with YOUR donated hotel points to offer free hotel stays to families so they can remain close to their loved ones during treatment. Because no family should have to worry about where they’ll stay in a time of crisis. Join us in supporting those who serve. Learn more about Hotels for Heroes and how you can help: https://lnkd.in/gBwsSCvT #HotelsForHeroes #FisherHouse #MilitaryFamilies #support #service

  • As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we recognize the remarkable women who have shaped history through their courage, resilience, and service. One such woman is Jessica Lynch. In 2003, Jessica, a U.S. Army private, was captured and later rescued in Iraq, becoming the first American POW rescued since World War II. But her journey didn’t end there. After enduring severe injuries, she faced a long road to recovery. “The Fisher House gave my family a place to stay close to me while I healed. That meant everything,” Jessica shared. “Their support made a difference in my recovery, not just physically, but emotionally.” Today, Jessica continues to inspire others through her story, advocating for veterans and wounded warriors. Her journey reminds us that strength isn’t just about the battles we fight, it’s about the resilience we show in rebuilding, the community that lifts us up, and the service that continues beyond the uniform. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate women like Jessica who not only make history but also shape the future. 💙 #WomensHistoryMonth #FisherHouse #Resilience #Service

  • When Army Sgt. Anson Curry suffered life-altering brain injuries in combat in 2011, his world and that of his wife Minie changed forever. As Anson faced a long and difficult road to recovery, Minie became not only his wife but also his full-time caregiver, tending to 90 percent of his daily needs while also raising their three children. Through it all, Minie’s unwavering strength and love never faltered. Fisher House was honored to stand by their side, providing Minie with a place to stay close to Anson during his treatment—a place where love, resilience, and healing could flourish. Their journey is a testament to the power of commitment, family, and the unbreakable bonds that carry us through life’s toughest battles. In a beautiful celebration of their enduring love, Anson and Minie renewed their wedding vows at a Fisher House, reaffirming the promise they made to each other years ago. Their story is one of courage, sacrifice, and the incredible strength found in love and support. #FisherHouse #TBIAwarenessMonth #military #service #love #family #militaryfamily #veteran #caregivers #militarycaregivers #Army

  • As a dedicated military spouse, Pauline Trost understood the sacrifices of service firsthand. One moment, however, forever changed her perspective and the future of military families. Watching a family step off a helicopter at Bethesda Naval Hospital, she wondered: Where will they stay? That simple yet profound question became the spark that led to the creation of the Fisher House Foundation. She shared her idea with philanthropist Zachary Fisher and played a pivotal role in ensuring that military and veteran families would always have a comforting place to stay during medical treatment. During Women’s History Month, Fisher House proudly honors the incredible women who have shaped our mission—women like Pauline, whose compassion and leadership continue to impact thousands of families. Her legacy lives on in every Fisher House, where love, support, and community are always at the heart of what we do. ❤️🏡 #WomensHistoryMonth #PaulineTrost #FisherHouse #MilitaryFamilies

  • March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time to recognize the impact of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) on our service members and veterans. Since 2000, over 490,000 service members have sustained TBIs, affecting mission readiness and daily life. Even mild TBIs can have significant effects. The Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence (TBICoE) is leading efforts with the theme "Be a Brain Warrior: Protect. Treat. Optimize." This initiative emphasizes the importance of prevention, prompt treatment, and optimization of brain health. Join us in supporting Brain Injury Awareness Month by participating in educational events and sharing resources to promote brain health.
