Getting Started

What to know before you arrive

Fisher House of the Emerald Coast is located on Eglin AFB and is available to families of patients receiving medical care at any local medical facility, military or civilian. A family member or significant other must have served in a branch of armed service — any branch, any length of time — to be eligible.

Fisher Houses are given to the military services and Department of Veterans Affairs as a gift, and the commander or director of each medical center where the houses are located is responsible for establishing the eligibility, priorities, and selection criteria.

There is never a fee for guests to stay, and they can stay as long as they need to, as often as needed. We provide free lodging in a state-of-the-art, $4.3 million dollar home during a medical event, procedure, or appointment for those that are serving, those that have served, and their loved ones that served alongside them. Base access and a medical referral are required.

I am so grateful to be able to stay here. My niece was injured really bad in a car accident and family needed to be here. I jumped on a plane with no clue where I would sleep when I arrived. God opened all doors and made a way, then Fisher House did the rest. Thank you so much and may God bless you all.
