Words from our guests
"We are so grateful for the hospitality of everyone here at the Fisher House. We've met some very awesome folks and will always appreciate our military family. Both of our boys are serving active duty currently. Thank you for the comfort of this wonderful place in our time of need."
"This is our second visit to the Fisher House @ Eglin AFB. There are simply no words to express our sincere appreciation. Being right across the street made my Dr. appointments with Dr. Barnett (ENT) so easy. Of course Dr. Barnnett is one of the finest doctors anywhere. The care and loving attitude of the staff were exceptional. Thank you so very much for providing a 5 Star experience when seeing the various doctors who care and attend to the needs of both active and retired troops. May God bless this outstanding organization!"
