In September, North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System Director Thomas Wisnieski and Congressman Cliff Stearns 6th Congressional District of Florida, joined Fisher House Foundation Vice President, Cindy Campbell, to break ground on a new 20-room Fisher House, the sixth in the state of Florida. Upon completion, the Fisher House will be gifted to the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center.
Ground was broken on a new 12-suite Fisher House, the first in the state of Tennessee, this September. Tennessee Valley Healthcare System Director Juan A. Morales was accompanied by Foundation President David Coker to celebrate the occasion. Reaching a new community is always an exciting time and once the house is completed, it will serve the families in Murfreesboro who need a “home away from home.”
