ST BONIFACE HAITI FOUNDATION INC

What ST BONIFACE HAITI FOUNDATION INC does

ST BONIFACE HAITI FOUNDATION INC operates as Health Equity International, a U.S.-based nonprofit founded in 1983 that runs St. Boniface Hospital in Haiti as its flagship healthcare delivery asset. The hospital provides a comprehensive service mix — emergency care, surgical procedures (250+ per month), maternal health and deliveries (3,000+ annually), and general patient consultations — and records over 100,000 patient visits per year alongside 500+ monthly ER visits. The U.S. presence is administrative, with a mailing office at 399 Revolution Drive, Suite 330, Somerville, Massachusetts, and the disclosed headcount of 5 employees is U.S.-based; clinical operations in Haiti are the substantive operational footprint.

The business model is a charity-care, donor-funded nonprofit. There is no product pricing; healthcare services are provided to anyone in need regardless of ability to pay, and revenue is sourced from donations by individuals, organizations, and charitable foundations processed through the healthequityintl.org website and amplified via Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. The organization has held Charity Navigator's Four-Star Nonprofit rating for 18 consecutive years and the GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency, which function as donor-facing credibility signals. There are no disclosed patents, proprietary technology, partnerships, AI/ML systems, or acquisitions; the "technology" is fundamentally the hospital infrastructure and clinical service lines.

Strategically, the most notable recent move is the rebrand from St. Boniface Haiti Foundation to Health Equity International, signaling an intent to broaden identity beyond a single hospital. Given the absence of disclosed funding rounds, M&A, or expansion into new geographies, the underlying expansion thesis rests on sustaining and scaling the existing Haiti hospital rather than entering new verticals or regions based on the available evidence.

• Haiti Health Foundation: Note: This is actually the operating website URL of the subject company (healthequityintl.org redirects to haitihealth.org per the data). Included only as a placeholder of the subject's online identity and should not be treated as a separate peer.
