“Thank you all for what you do. I was so scared when I checked in but it was an incredible blessing to stay here while I supported my brother to become hopefully more on the road to full recovery. The love and care for all will never be forgotten.
Please watch over my brother, quietly and I hope to see you one day with a smile to match that of a full recovery for my brother. Thank you to all the people that support your great work.”

“I arrived here on 15 October 2018 for HBOT treatments, 40 – 1.5 hour each. Today I will finish and return home. My stay at the (Eglin) Fisher House has been great. The staff and facility is above and beyond anything that this old marine is used to. May our good Lord bless this wonderful facility and staff, because they give so much love, respect and encouragement to our veterans and their families. My 40 HBOT treatments by Dr. Zant was a blessing to me. HBOT does wonders for PTSD, TBI and many other combat injuries. Blast concussion was one of my main problems plus radiation burns suffered during cancer treatments, agent orange problem. I ask God’s blessing on all who assisted me to come out a winner.”
“Thank you Lord. Thank you Fisher House. What a blessing, what a community, Donnie, Marc, John, Judy and Melissa. You guys are doing God’s work every day. We traveled here from South Carolina to support my sister during her surgery. She reserved us a suite here in the Fisher House mansion. I am grateful, we are grateful. Thank you to the founders of the Fisher House.”

Here is a note we received today and how you can make a difference.
“For several years my brother and I have elected to donate to some worthy organization or foundation that supports our wounded military and/or their families in lieu of exchanging Christmas gifts.
On November 30th, I was listening to a show on talk radio and the host talked with one of our wounded warriors whose family was greatly helped by Fisher House over a period of several months. As a result of this interview, I have selected Fisher House to be the recipient of my gift this year. While searching online, I was reminded that there is a Fisher House of the Emerald Coast. This year, therefore, I would like to make a small contribution to help you out.”
Please join with this generous donor, who also is a retired USAF officer, in blessing our military families in times of medical need. Our house becomes a home to approximately 1,000 guests annually and it is through you that this #loveisgoodmedicine takes place.
