The award celebrates organizations that drive economic growth and make significant contributions to the local community.
This recognition underscores Fisher House Southern California's ongoing growth and its core humanitarian mission. The organization provides a "home away from home" at no cost to military and veteran families while their loved one receives medical care at regional military and VA medical centers. By easing the financial burden and keeping families together during complex medical crises, the organization directly supports the well-being of the region's defense community.
The San Diego Business Impact Awards ceremony brings together leaders across the regional economy to celebrate local enterprise, leadership, and service. The recognition highlights Fisher House Southern California's commitment to sustainable organizational growth while delivering vital community support to service members and their families.
Fisher House Southern California is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a "home away from home" for military members, veterans, and their families while a loved one receives medical care at VA and military hospitals throughout Southern California. Through donor support and community partnerships, the organization helps families stay together during medical treatment by providing no-cost lodging and, when Fisher House accommodations are unavailable, assistance with nearby temporary lodging.
Fisher House Southern California supports five Fisher Houses across four Southern California locations, helping reduce the financial burden of travel and lodging so families can focus on healing. The award not only recognizes the organization's past achievements but also its potential for future impact in the San Diego region.
