About This Cause
A family's love is good medicine... Fisher House is a home away from home for the caretakers of inpatients. Doctors have attributed many unexpected and accelerated patient recoveries to having loved ones nearby for love and support. This house will serve veterans and active duty members from the six Central Florida counties of Volusia, Brevard, Lake, Seminole, Orange and Osceola. It will be located inside the fence line of the VA hospital campus and just a short walk to the front door. The house will have 13,000 square feet and 16 bedrooms. Friends of Fisher House Orlando was established in 2016 to directly support the building and operation of Fisher House Orlando at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Orlando FL. The burgeoning veteran population in Central Florida has validated the need for two houses at the Orlando Veterans Affairs hospital. Groundbreaking was held for the first house in November 2016 with an expected ribbon cutting in late 2017.
