Family members and caregivers of Veterans who live 50 miles or more from the C.W. Bill Young VA Medical Center can stay at the Fisher House free of charge with a referral from a Veteran\u2019s respective social worker.\u00a0 Lodging is on a first come, first served basis.\u00a0 Reservations are not accepted.<\/p>\n

In November 2016, Bay Pines was selected nationally to receive a second, 16-room Fisher House. Construction is expected to begin in the next 3 years. Read more about the second house at: www.baypines.va.gov\/pressreleases\/20161205.asp<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Members of the local community can be part of the Fisher House mission.\u00a0 The Bay Pines Fisher House depends on volunteers and monetary donations from individuals and groups to support its programs.\u00a0 To learn more about how you can help the Fisher House, please consider attending the open house on September 1, visit the Bay Pines Fisher House webpage at www.baypines.va.gov\/fisherhouse.asp<\/a>, or call (727) 398-6661, extension 11350.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
