Fisher House in St. Louis

A Fisher House is a “home away from home” where families or caregivers of a Veteran or military service member can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment. The love, care, support and presence of these family members or companions are essential to the healing and recuperation process. Fisher Houses recognize this necessity with the motto “…because a family’s love is good medicine.”
