We are so excited that the #Roadto100 is in sight! The final beam was placed at the entranceway of the 100th Fisher House located at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, IL in a "Topping Off" ceremony. Not only is this a huge milestone, but this house is unique in that unlike other Fisher Houses built for the VA or a particular military service, this will be the first-of-its-kind home built for the partnership between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) integrating all medical care into a federal healthcare facility with a single combined mission. Thank you to everyone who has made this road possible, whether you are staff member, volunteer, support, or a family, we are honored to continue serving our military, veterans, and their families. #FisherHouse #100thHouse #Chicago #homeawayfromhome #partnership #family #militaryfamily #familysloveisgoodmedicine

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.
