June 2008:
Fisher House Foundation Chairman Ken Fisher joined senior leaders in a ground-breaking ceremony Friday to mark the start of construction of a “home away from home” for families to reside in while their loved ones go through rehabilitation.

The Camp Lejeune Fisher House will be part of the base’s Wounded Warrior Complex which will also feature a 100 room bachelor enlisted quarters to house members of Wounded Warrior Battalion East, and the Warrior Hope and Care Center™.

March 2008:
The Warrior Hope & Care Center™ is currently in the design phase. Architects from the design firm of Faulkenberry & Associates in New Bern, NC are working closely with Hope For The Warriors™, consultants from the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune as well as local physical therpists and neurologists.

The picture shown is a conceptual image and is subject to change. The image below is the aerial view of the intended Wounded Warrior compound aboard Camp Lejeune. The buildings are colocated with the Naval Hospital providing additional services and resources. This location was suggested by Hope For The Warriors™ because of its proximity to the water and the privacy it offers.

Once completed, the wounded will be able to move easily between the barracks and the Hope & Care Center™. Wounded married service members will be provided with ample and appropriate parking. The close proximity to the water and open space offer recreational opportunities not currently available. Kayaking, fishing, and other outdoor therapy will provide fulfilling activites conducive to recovery.

Fundraising is underway. The cost for this facility is estimated at 20 million dollars.
