Who We Are
A Fisher House is a “home away from home” for families of patients receiving medical care at major military treatment facilities and VA medical centers. Fisher House Portsmouth supports patients and families receiving care at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. The Fisher House is located on the Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads - Portsmouth Annex which is approximately a five minute walk from the medical center.
All Navy and Marine Corps Fisher House operations fall under Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) oversight. Fisher Houses are constructed and donated by the Fisher House Foundation, Inc., a national nonprofit organization established to assist with the coordination of private support and encourage public support for the construction of Fisher Houses. The houses are located in proximity to military medical treatment facilities.

Thank you to both of these houses, staff, volunteers, and supporters for all that you do for our military and veteran families.
Because of your financial support throughout the year, we were able to pack the pantry at Fisher House Portsmouth today. We are so blessed to be able to give back to our veteran community. This is just a small “thank you” to the Fisher House Foundation and all that they do to support veterans and their families across the nation.
May is National Military Appreciation Month. This is a time to honor, remember, recognize, and show our appreciation for all military personnel – including those men and women who have served throughout our history, those who serve in uniform now, their families, and all the service members who have given their lives in defense of the freedoms we enjoy today. Thank you for your service and sacrifices!
And thank you for your service during the COVID-19 pandemic! From constructing alternate care sites to providing logistics and medical care, we are honored and grateful for your service every day.
