Hawaii: TAMC Fisher Houses

In honor of Veterans Day 2017, the platoon is turning its attention to our Veteran families...and helping where we're needed most. We hope you will join us this November 5th, 2017. We will be helping out Fisher Houses I&II outside spaces with attention to the Gazebo's, decking, and gardening area's. Tripler Fisher Houses The Fisher House Foundation currently has donated 65 Fisher Houses throughout the continental United States as well as two in Hawaii, one in Alaska and two in Germany. We have two beautifully decorated homes located above the backside of Tripler Army Medical Center that can accommodate 19 families at any one time. We stay at 100% occupancy while maintaining a waiting list for those incoming patients & their families. Our priority is combat wounded, life or death regardless of where they come, then as their medical severity dictates. We work to accommodate as many families as possible. While we can not assist everyone we have partnered with the IHG hotel located on Tripler to assist with our overflow while they are on our waitlist, these families can receive a reduced rate. Please check with the Fisher House manager for more details and assistance. Eligibility to stay in our homes depends on the PATIENT'S enrollment in DEERS. ALL OUTPATIENTS staying at the Fisher House are REQUIRED to have a Non Medical Attendant, regardless of what you are being treated for, no exceptions. Each family will receive one room with a private bathroom. All guests are encouraged to take advantage of the rest of the house. Common areas include the living room, family room, dining room as well as a beautiful spacious kitchen, laundry room and lanai with a million dollar view. The unique thing about these homes is that the families are not only guests, but volunteers who will be responsible for the upkeep of the home during their stay, as if it were their own home. There is no maid service or room service available. The intent is to create a nurturing homelike atmosphere that fosters rehabilitative opportunities to reintegrate the patients and families back into their normal lifestyle as quickly as possible.
