Hero Miles Program:
Using frequent flyer miles, we purchase round-trip airfare for wounded, injured,
and ill service members on ordinary leave from the medical center to home or
an authorized event loved ones of wounded, injured, or ill service members to
visit the authorized medical center loved ones to attend the Dignified Transfer
of Remains at Dover Air Force Base. If you believe you qualify for a Hero Miles
ticket, please contact the service member’s caseworker or casualty officer. All requests must be made through authorized contacts.
All Fisher Houses are completely free of charge!
Fisher Houses are owned and operated by the Department of Defense or Dept.
of Veterans Affairs in association with the attached hospital. Each Fisher House
is between 7 and 21 suites and can accommodate 16 to 42 family members.
They feature a spacious common kitchen, laundry facilities, spacious dining
room and a living room with a library and toys for children. Newer houses are
100% wheelchair accessible and include elevators. A Fisher House is a temporary residence and is not a treatment facility, hospice, or counseling center.
Hotels for Heroes Program
There are times when a Fisher House is unavailable. Our Hotels for Heroes
program steps in when this happens and provides a hotel room for families
eligible to stay in a Fisher House. Using donated hotel points, we provide accommodations for:
1. Service members with military authorization while receiving medical care
but are not eligible for government-funded reimbursement
2. Family or close friends of qualifying service members for visits while being
treated at a medical center, but are not eligible for government-funded
reimbursement
3. Anyone eligible to stay in a Fisher House that is at full occupancy
If you believe you qualify for a hotel room, please contact your service member’s case worker or Fisher House manager at the location of treatment.
