Welcome! We're Friends of the Pittsburgh Fisher House
|
Since 2012, the Pittsburgh Fisher House has been providing a home away from home for the families of veterans and active duty military hospitalized at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System's Oakland campus. The Pittsburgh Fisher House has 10 suites, allowing families and caregivers to stay for free near their loved one while enjoying a place of peace and respite for themselves.
Friends of the Pittsburgh Fisher House operates like an auxiliary group, raising money and support for meals, gift cards, additional furnishings, and other amenities which directly comfort and support families during their stay. |
