On February 11, 2016, following a successful capital campaign where some $3.5-million was donated by Nevadans, and matched by the Fisher House Foundation, the Las Vegas Fisher House, built on the campus of the VA Southern Nevada Medical Center (6900 N. Pecos Road, No. Las Vegas, NV 89086) was dedicated. The Fisher House provides high quality temporary lodging to families of veterans or active duty service members who are undergoing inpatient or extensive outpatient treatment at the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System or Mike O’Callaghan Federal Medical Center at Nellis AFB.
Fisher House offers a warm, compassionate environment where families find support and encouragement from others in similar circumstances. It is a “home away from home” and provides a sense of comfort so that families can be together while a loved one in undergoing medical treatment.
The first Fisher House opened in 1991 at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, to support active duty military families. Its mission continues today as service men and women return from Iraq and Afghanistan in need of VA care. The Las Vegas Fisher House is operated by the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System and supported by the Nevada Veterans Foundation.
