A Fisher House is a comfort home in a network of houses located near military and VA medical centers, providing free lodging for the families of active-duty service members and veterans while their loved ones receive medical care.
Fisher House Wisconsin is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the construction and operation of Fisher Houses across Wisconsin. The first Fisher House in the state opened at the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans Medical Center in April 2016. Since then, the Milwaukee VA Fisher House has housed over 6,300 military and veteran caregivers. By helping fund operational expenses, Fisher House Wisconsin ensures families can stay close to their loved ones during critical medical treatments without financial burden.
