His obituary in UVA Magazine read:
He served in the Army Air Forces during World War II… Mr. Bushnell began his career as a hospital administrator with the Richmond Eye Hospital. After moving to Rocky Mount, Va., he served as administrator of Franklin Memorial Hospital and later Memorial Hospital in Martinsville, Va.; Mr. Bushnell promoted equal patient care and worked to desegregate both of these hospitals. In 1974, he left Martinsville to become president of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Southwestern Virginia in Roanoke, and in 1977 returned to the work he loved most, leadership and management of a caring facility, becoming president of Westminster Canterbury Richmond. He held that position with the retirement community until he retired in 1987. He also served as preceptor for the MCV School of Hospital Administration from 1958 until his retirement, mentoring many young and aspiring health care administrators. He taught Sunday school and served as a lay reader for his church. He also participated in many community organizations, including the Virginia Hospital Association, the English Speaking Union, the Franklin County PTA and the Virginia Association of Nonprofit Homes for the Aging.[1]
