Fisher House Southern California has been selected as 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. The award celebrates organizations that not only drive economic growth but also make substantial contributions to the local community. This year's honoree list includes Fisher House Southern California for its sustained organizational growth and its core humanitarian mission.
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 alleviating the financial burden of travel and lodging, Fisher House Southern California enables families to stay together during complex medical crises. This support directly enhances the well-being of the region's defense community, a vital sector of San Diego's economy.
The San Diego Business Impact Awards ceremony convenes leaders across the regional economy to celebrate local enterprise, leadership, and service. The recognition underscores Fisher House Southern California's commitment to sustainable growth while delivering essential community support to service members and their families. As an honoree, the organization joins a distinguished group of businesses and nonprofits that have demonstrated measurable impact in the region.
Fisher House Southern California operates five Fisher Houses across four locations in Southern California, providing no-cost lodging to families in need. When Fisher House accommodations are unavailable, the organization assists with nearby temporary lodging. This comprehensive approach helps reduce the financial strain on families, allowing them to focus on healing and supporting their loved ones during treatment.
The award highlights the intersection of business success and social responsibility, a model that Fisher House Southern California exemplifies. Its growth reflects the increasing demand for its services and the strength of its community partnerships. The recognition from the San Diego EDC and JPMorganChase is a testament to the organization's positive economic and social footprint in the region.
