Larsen also noted the hospital is paying off about $250,000 annually on the principal owed on the building while still putting around $120,000 per quarter into a debt sinking fund to pay for new equipment as it becomes necessary in the future. The average number of patients per day in the hospital in 2011 was between 12 and 13.
