Mission
Fisher House is a home-away-from-home for the families of seriously ill or injured patients receiving treatment at Wilford Hall Medical Center, a major Air Force medical facility. Service members, parents, spouses, other relatives, or anybody supporting seriously ill or injured inpatients at Wilford Hall are eligible to stay at the two Fisher Houses and the Fisher House Inn for Children. The three facilities have 25 fully-furnished bedrooms, most with private baths. Families who meet the eligibility criteria and are accepted as guests stay without cost. There is never a charge for lodging, food or services. Almost 6,000 families have been served since opening the first Fisher House in 1992.
