Lexington Veterans Affairs Healthcare is marking the one-year anniversary of Fisher House – a home on the Sousley campus where family members of veterans undergoing medical procedures can stay for free. Mike Neville, the manager of Lexington’s Fisher House, said the facility is open to people living more than 50 miles away – and their vets don’t have to be receiving care at the V-A.
“We also have what we call Care in the Community. So if a veteran has a specialty need, say Markey Cancer Center or something to that effect, as long as the VA is paying for the medical treatment, and the veterans meet the criteria, they are allowed to stay here.”
