"The Fisher House was more than a place to stay for me. I was blessed to make friends with people who were also enduring their own ups and downs going on in the lives of their loved ones."

Life at the Pittsburgh Fisher House

Picture
“Here at the Pittsburgh Fisher House, family is not defined by blood, but rather by the bonds formed from the support of others. I have seen so many individuals enter this house feeling alone, scared and lost – those are the people that end up becoming a part or our family here and are the first to support the next scared person who crosses our threshold. I feel very honored to have been able to witness this on such a regular basis. There are lifetime bonds created here and that is very special.”

-Heather Frantz, Pittsburgh Fisher House Manager



What to Expect as a Guest at Pittsburgh Fisher House

You will be contacted by Fisher House staff the first day of your requested stay by 10 a.m. to be notified of room availability. If a room is available you will be given directions to the house and instructions for check in at the house. You will be greeted by management staff or a volunteer who will give you a tour of the facility and explain the general rules of the house. There is a small amount of paperwork for you to sign and then you will be given keys to the house and your room, as well as a permit for the parking lot, if applicable. At that point, you will be shown to your room and invited to make yourself at home.

Guests are able to stay in Fisher House as long as the patient is in the hospital. On the day of discharge, guests are expected to checkout by 11 a.m.
