About Us
The Tennessee Fisher House Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to bringing a Fisher House to the campus of the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro TN. It is also dedicated to assisting the house once it is built to attend to the needs of those who will be guests in the house.
For members of our Armed Forces, retirees, veterans and their families, the Fisher House offers shelter and support during a medical crisis. It offers a comforting home environment when a loved one is receiving care in an unfamiliar place during a stressful time of serious illness or injury.
Most importantly, due to the generosity of people like you, no family pays for their stay. The staffing and maintenance will be the responsibility of the VA once it is turned over to them upon completion of construction.
