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.
Capital Campaign Committee Volunteers Needed!
The Friends of the Pittsburgh Fisher House is looking for motivated and influential volunteers to serve on the Capital Campaign Committee to raise funds to build a 2nd Fisher House. The Campaign Committee members will work closely with the Board, staff and Committee to help bring this exciting project to fruition! The completion of the 2nd Fisher House will more than double our capacity to serve veterans and their families traveling to the Pittsburgh area for healthcare services. For more information on the responsibilities, click on the link below. Please send letter of interest and qualifications to Mr. CJ Johnston at ckj2@verizon.net.
