Private AIDS hospital closes after 14 months in Houston
The first private AIDS hospital, operated by American Medical International, shut after 14 months with all patients moved to other facilities. It treated about 1,000 patients monthly, had 150 beds, and relied on federal funds for experimental therapies. Indigent care overwhelmed funds, leading to layoffs and phasing out. Community activists urge stronger public health involvement to handle growing AIDS care.
