Orlando VA Medical Center
Orlando VA Medical Center at Lake Nona
As the Veterans population in Orlando and surrounding areas expanded, the Veterans Administration identified the need for a larger medical center in support of our Veterans. This resulted in the building of the new Orlando VA Medical Center at Lake Nona. In concert with the building of this new medical center, the Fisher House Foundation identified the need for the Orlando Fisher House at Lake Nona to support our service members and their families. Friends of Fisher House Orlando was established to support the mission of the Orlando Fisher House and our Veterans, active duty Service Members, and their families.
