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.

FOPFH CELEBRATES MILITARY MONDAY and THE SECOND PITTSBURGH FISHER HOUSE!
The Friends of the Pittsburgh Fisher House had a great night at the Pirates game celebrating the first Military Monday of the season on May 12. Thank you to Pirates Charities and 84 Lumber for their generous donation to support construction of a second Pittsburgh Fisher House! On hand were Travis Williams - Pittsburgh Pirates President, Sarah Van Dommelen - PR Manager at 84 Lumber, Henry Mannella - Incoming PA State VFW Commander (who threw the first pitch!), and FOPFH Board Members - Dayna Brown, Nick Krawec and Andrew Krull. It was a BIG WIN for all! |
