American hospital in Haiti dies as Utah charity folds | The Salt Lake Tribune

American hospital in Haiti dies as Utah charity folds | The Salt Lake Tribune: "A charity created by a Utah County businessman to fund the construction and operation of a full-service “American Hospital in Haiti” has folded.

Nine months ago, the original front man for Americans Helping Haiti, Stephen Studdert, said the charity was well on its way to having the hospital built in time for the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti. But citing fundraising troubles and growing political unrest in the impoverished island nation, the nonprofit’s board of directors voted this week to cease operations."
