Fisher House Southern California has been named an honoree for the 2026 San Diego Business Impact Awards, an annual recognition hosted by the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and JPMorganChase. This award celebrates organizations that drive economic growth and make significant contributions to the local community.
The recognition underscores Fisher House Southern California's commitment to sustainable organizational growth while delivering vital support to service members and their families. The organization provides a "home away from home" at no cost to military and veteran families while their loved one receives medical care at regional military and VA medical centers. By easing financial burdens and keeping families together during complex medical crises, the organization directly supports the well-being of the region's defense community.
The San Diego Business Impact Awards ceremony brings together leaders across the regional economy to celebrate local enterprise, leadership, and service. Being selected as an honoree places Fisher House Southern California among a distinguished group of organizations that are making a tangible difference in the region.
Fisher House Southern California is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a "home away from home" for military members, veterans, and their families while a loved one receives medical care at VA and military hospitals throughout Southern California. Through donor support and community partnerships, the organization helps families stay together during medical treatment by providing no-cost lodging and, when Fisher House accommodations are unavailable, assistance with nearby temporary lodging.
The organization supports five Fisher Houses across four Southern California locations, helping reduce the financial burden of travel and lodging so families can focus on healing. This recognition is a testament to the organization's impactful work and its role in strengthening the community.
As the region continues to grow, the importance of such support services cannot be overstated. Fisher House Southern California's recognition by the EDC and JPMorganChase highlights the critical intersection of economic development and social responsibility. It also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by military families and the importance of community support in their times of need.
The 2026 San Diego Business Impact Awards will be a celebration of organizations that are not only successful in their endeavors but also committed to giving back. Fisher House Southern California's inclusion in this group is well-deserved and reflects its dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those who serve our country.
