Fisher House Fridays!

A huge thank you to the Ingevity IT team, 28 volunteers strong, who spent the day at Fisher House giving both their time and their talents.

From preparing a homemade spread of chili, salad, cornbread, and brownies to rolling up their sleeves for house projects like laying mulch, blowing leaves, power washing, wiping down chairs and surfaces, checking lightbulbs, and polishing the kitchen until it sparkled! They left a lasting mark.

The group also joined Erik for an impactful presentation and toured one of our guest suites to see firsthand the space where families find rest and comfort while their loved ones receive care.

💙 Thank you, Ingevity, for being part of our mission to make Fisher House feel like home.

Yesterday our ALS Clinic was honored by the The ALS Association as a Recognized Treatment Center. Representatives from ALSA presented a plaque to our team during a ceremony in the Main Auditorium, followed by a celebration luncheon with Veterans, staff, and caregivers.
This recognition highlights the extraordinary care and support our Neurology Service provides to Veterans and their families, made possible in part through the advocacy and testimony of the late Brig. Gen. Thomas Mikolajicik, whose voice helped establish presumptive service connection for Veterans living with ALS.
We are proud to continue his legacy by delivering world-class care, compassion, and hope to those we serve.

Veterans from Coastal Expedition's Coastal Warrior program volunteered this past weekend to assist in maintaining the grounds of the Lowcountry Equine Assisted Psychotherapy group, a non-profit organization that provides therapy to Veterans through horses and licensed mental health professionals. This alignment of Veteran Service Organizations is an example of Veteran Service Organizations developing a strong community of support Veterans and to prevent the problem of self isolation that often plagues Veterans as they transition from military to civilian life.

Many VSOs like Coastal Expedition and LEAP are examples of organizations that are often involved in VA's Veteran Community Partnership initiative. The goal is to work with community organizations like these to establish and nurture community partnerships that facilitate and improve access to care, benefits, and services for Veterans, families and their caregivers.

This collaboration with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs/ underscored a vital truth: Nearly half of Veterans receive care outside VA walls. By building coalitions with faith leaders, law enforcement, clinicians, and those with lived experience, we are reaching Veterans where they live, work, and thrive. Together we can reduce the impact of su***de in our community.

Thank you to all who attended and contributed to this meaningful event.

FISHER HOUSE FRIDAY

We recently hosted a Su***de Prevention Lunch and Learn, featuring John Kessler, Su***de Prevention Coordinator at the Ralph H. Johnson VA.

John shared tools, resources, and stories of hope to help strengthen our community’s understanding of su***de prevention. His message reminded us that support, awareness, and compassion can save lives.

Thank you to everyone who attended and continues to stand with our Veterans and families in times of need. Together, we make a difference.
