Brooke Army Medical Center
Welcome to the Brooke Army Medical Center Fisher Houses
Located on Joint Base San Antonio–Fort Sam Houston, the Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) Fisher Houses provide a supportive, home-like environment for the families of wounded, ill, or injured service members and Veterans receiving treatment at BAMC. These homes offer more than just a place to stay—they provide a sense of community, compassion, and comfort during some of life’s most challenging moments.
Established in 1992 to meet the growing needs of military families, the BAMC Fisher Houses are conveniently situated just steps away from the hospital, and other facilities such as the Intrepid Center, making it easy for families to remain close to their loved ones throughout their medical care.
Together, the four BAMC Fisher Houses can accommodate up to 48 families at a time. Each family is welcomed into a private guest suite with an en-suite bathroom and space for up to four guests. The homes are designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, creating a peaceful environment that supports healing and connection.
BAMC guests also have access to the traditional fisher house shared accommodates:
- A fully equipped kitchen for preparing home-cooked meals
- A dining room and spacious family room with a large flat-screen television
- Laundry facilities available on-site for added convenience
Additionally, BAMC Fisher House has a fun outdoor playground area for families to enjoy a little bit of normalcy as they navigate their medical needs.
