By easing the financial burden and keeping families together during complex medical crises, the organization directly supports the well-being of the region's defense community.
The San Diego Business Impact Awards ceremony brings together leaders across the regional economy to celebrate local enterprise, leadership, and service. The recognition underscores Fisher House Southern California's commitment to sustainable organizational growth while delivering vital community support to service members and their families.
Fisher House Southern California is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a "home away from home" for military members, veterans, and their families while a loved one receives medical care at VA and military hospitals throughout Southern California. Through donor support and community partnerships, the organization helps families stay together during medical treatment by providing no-cost lodging and, when Fisher House accommodations are unavailable, assistance with nearby temporary lodging.
Fisher House Southern California supports five Fisher Houses across four Southern California locations, helping reduce the financial burden of travel and lodging so families can focus on healing.
This honor not only recognizes the organization's impact but also brings attention to the critical needs of military families during medical crises. By being named a Business Impact Awards honoree, Fisher House Southern California's work is spotlighted among regional business leaders, potentially inspiring further community support and partnerships. The award also underscores the importance of nonprofit organizations in driving economic growth and community well-being, a key focus of the San Diego Regional EDC.
