Fisher House Southern California has been named a 2026 honoree of the San Diego Business Impact Awards, presented by the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and JPMorganChase. The annual award recognizes organizations that drive economic growth and make substantial contributions to the local community. This recognition highlights Fisher House Southern California's sustained growth and its humanitarian mission to support military and veteran families during medical crises.
The organization provides a "home away from home" at no cost to families of service members and veterans receiving care at regional military and VA medical centers. By easing the financial burden of travel and lodging, Fisher House Southern California enables families to stay together during complex medical treatments, directly supporting the well-being of the region's defense community. The award ceremony brings together leaders across the regional economy to celebrate enterprise, leadership, and service, and this honor underscores the organization's commitment to sustainable growth while delivering essential community support.
Fisher House Southern California is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates five Fisher Houses across four locations in Southern California. It offers no-cost lodging and, when accommodations are unavailable, assists with nearby temporary lodging. Through donor support and community partnerships, the organization helps reduce the financial strain on families so they can focus on healing. The recognition from the San Diego EDC and JPMorganChase not only celebrates the organization's past achievements but also underscores its ongoing importance to the region's military families and the broader community.
