Since 2012 VA Pittsburgh Fisher House has been providing a "home away from home" for the families of Veterans & active duty military who are hospitalized. We are located on the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System's Oakland campus. Our home, with its 10 suites, allows families to be near their loved one while enjoying a place of peace and respite for themselves. Families stay for free, lifting their financial burden and allowing them to focus on their loved one.
Please watch the video below to find out more about the Second Pittsburgh Fisher House along with a special message from Pittsburgh Steeler Alejandro Villanueva!
