Twenty-five years ago, the first Fisher House opened at what was then the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Its purpose was to provide a home away from home for families to be near their wounded warriors and veterans. The Fisher House Foundation continues to provide temporary, no-cost lodging at 65 locations today. Kerri Childress is vice president of communications for the Fisher House Foundation. On the Federal Drive, she told Federal News Radio’s Tom Temin more about some of the recent additions.
