About the Fisher
House Program
Peter Killcommons
z
Introduction
 In 1992, Dr. Peter Killcommons founded Medweb. The
company provides medical imaging and telemedicine services
to patients around the globe. Medweb's offerings include a
disaster response division, radiology, and telemedicine.
Additionally, Medweb hosts an extensive array of philanthropic
programs. Dr. Pete Killcommons complements Medweb's
charitable work through affiliations with organizations such as
American Red Cross and Fisher House.
A blend of public and private partners, Fisher House Program
supports America's fighting men and women who require
medical care. Recognizing that military personnel are
stationed all around the world, the program allocates
donations for the construction of comfort homes, known as
Fisher Houses, on major military and medical centers.
z
Fisher House Program
 Family members can then move into the Fisher
Houses closest to the hospitals in which their loved
ones are being treated, giving them a comfortable
place to live while he or she is hospitalized.
Every year, Fisher House supports over 19,000
veterans and their families. The program does not
charge living costs to families who reside at a Fisher
House, enabling visitors to focus all their attention on
their patient. In addition to building houses, the Fisher
House Program sponsors various scholarships for
children of military personnel.
