Activities for patients included movies, dances, live musical performances by amateur and professional entertainers, baseball games played by patients and staff, and field trips to local points of interest. There was also a swimming pool and a well-stocked post exchange. In addition, a prisoner of war camp was established near the Bushnell Hospital for German and Italian prisoners of war, some of whom were taken to work in the hospital under the close supervision of hospital personnel.

Bushnell Hospital closed in 1947. In 1950 the facility became the Intermountain Indian School for Navajo students. It later became an intertribal school for Indian high school students. The Intermountain Indian School closed in 1984. After an interim period of ownership by Brigham City, the facility is now (in 1993) under private development.
