The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that which is normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.

This is one of three houses located at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC. All of the bedrooms were occupied, so we were unable to photograph them. In addition to the usual furnishings, a sophisticated message system allows residents to keep in touch.

	The Living Room at Fisher House.
	The Kitchen - fully stocked with food. Families and physical therapy patients can eat what and when they like. It also gives patients the opportunity to adjust to routine life around the house before going home.

	In addition to the kitchen there is a dining room, a stockroom for supplies and a utility room with freezers, washers and dryers. Residents must clean up after themselves. This gives the patients another opportunity to adjust to routine household life.
