Fr. Dwight Ezop, Pastor of St. Mary’s Parish in Charlotte, offered the following invocation:
“Lord our God,
You are the maker of all things, human and divine.
All times and seasons obey Your laws,
yet You have created us to be the stewards of Your creation,
caring for the world and its peoples in all their wonder.
We come before You this day as Your servants.
Our time of service to others may seem without end.
We pray You help us to accept all that is involved in this office
for which Your servants have been chosen.
Allow us to offer You devoted service
as we seek to meet the needs of the brothers and sisters we have in You.
Keep our hearts open
to the mystery of Your presence in our lives
in the midst of the service we offer on behalf of others.
Unlock to us, we pray,
the secret of how, in such service,
we may always give honor, praise and glory to You.
As Your servants, we bow before You
and the mystery of Your holy will.
We pray You bless our efforts, this day and each day.
We make this prayer through the mystery of Your godhead,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen.”

Reports of Standing Committees
The Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs, by Rep. Wentworth, Chair, reported
House Resolution No. 191.
A resolution of support for the initiative to bring the first Fisher House to Michigan.
(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 85 of 2017, p. 1865.)
With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-2) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.
Substitute for House Resolution No. 191.
A resolution of support for the initiative to bring the first Fisher House to Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan boasts among its citizens more than 640,000 veterans, many of whom have recently returned home from service in Iraq and Afghanistan; and
Whereas, The Veterans’ Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System (VAAAHS) provides state-of-the-art healthcare for veterans living in a 15-county area of Michigan and northwest Ohio. The VAAAHS provides more than 800,000 outpatient visits and more than 5,000 episodes of inpatient care at the hospital and extended care center annually. Rated the second-best Veterans’ Affairs medical center in the United States, the VAAAHS also serves as a referral center for specialty care, providing critical medical treatment that is not available in other nearby VA facilities, including trans-aortic valve replacement, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease, and access to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center; and
Whereas, Many VAAAHS patients travel a long distance to receive care, which can present a significant barrier to healthcare for these veterans, their families, and caregivers. Between 200 and 300 families per month request lodging at the VAAAHS for the purpose of traveling with their veteran as he or she receives care; and
Whereas, The Fisher House Program provides lodging free of charge to families of VA patients. There are currently 73 Fisher Houses located in 28 states and the District of Columbia, but none in Michigan. Establishing a facility near the VAAAHS that can act as a “home away from home” for family members of patients receiving medical care will go a long way toward providing support and encouragement for both patients and their families, thus significantly improving patient outcomes; and
Whereas, The VA has approved a Fisher House location at the VAAAHS and in May 2016, Fisher House Michigan, a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the federal tax code, was formed with the purpose of bringing the first Fisher House to Michigan. The construction of a Fisher House in Ann Arbor will be funded by a $5 million capital campaign by Fisher House Michigan, as well as matching funds from the Fisher House Foundation, a nationwide nonprofit organization; and
Whereas, Once complete, the Fisher House at the VAAAHS will provide 5,840 nights of free lodging to veterans’ family members and caregivers each year; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we support the initiative to bring the first Fisher House to Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Director of the Veterans’ Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System, the Board of Directors of Fisher House Michigan organization, and the President of the Fisher House Foundation.
