The mission of Friends of Fisher House Pittsburgh is to provide a home away from home where military and veteran families can stay, free of charge, while their loved one receives medical treatment in the Pittsburgh region. We work tirelessly to raise awareness in our community about the critical need to support veterans and their families.

Who We Are

 We are Friends of the Pittsburgh Fisher House. We have been providing support to the Pittsburgh Fisher House since 2013 to ensure Veteran’s and their families experience the comforts of home while receiving vital medical care at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System or nearby medical facility. Here is how we work together...

Pittsburgh Fisher House 

The Pittsburgh Fisher House, a ten hotel-style suite home situated on the VA Campus in Oakland and part of the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, was established in 2012 and belongs to the Fisher House National Network of 99 comfort homes. The PFH hosts families and caregivers from across the United States for free while their loved ones are in the hospital and provides a place of peace and respite in otherwise stressful, and even traumatic, times.

The Friends of the Pittsburgh Fisher House (FOPFH) exist to make the guest experience as good as possible. The FOPFH provides meals, gift cards, transportation vouchers, home furnishings, and other amenities to aid in the comfort and support of Veteran's families during their stay. The organization is also raising money for the SECOND Pittsburgh Fisher House which will be located at the VA H. John Heinz III Campus in O'Hara Township off of Delafield Road.
FOPFH is an independent, 501c3 non-profit organization and is grateful for the generous gifts and support from individuals, organizations, and other community partners.

​Together, we ease the burden of veterans and their families during their stay at Pittsburgh Fisher House.
