2001, November 13, 2001, November 28, 2001 and January 15, 2002 (the
"prospectus") of Universal Health Services, Inc. ("UHS" or "our") relating to
the sale by certain of our securityholders or by their transferees, pledgees,
donees or other successors (the "selling securityholders") of up to $586,992,000
principal amount at maturity of UHS's convertible debentures due 2020 (the
"debentures") and the shares of our class B common stock issuable upon
conversion of the debentures. You should read this prospectus supplement in
conjunction with the prospectus, and this prospectus supplement is qualified by
reference to the prospectus except to the extent that the information in this
prospectus supplement supersedes the information contained in the prospectus.


                             SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

         The following table provides certain information with respect to the
principal amount at maturity of debentures beneficially owned by entities who
were not identified in the prospectus as selling securityholders, the percentage
of outstanding debentures held by each such entity, and the number of shares of
our class B common stock issuable upon conversion of such outstanding
debentures. All information concerning beneficial ownership of the debentures
has been furnished to UHS by the selling securityholders, and the percentages
are based on $586,992,000 principal amount at maturity of debentures
outstanding. The number of shares of class B common stock that may be sold is
calculated based upon the current conversion rate of 11.2048 shares of class B
common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of a debenture. The table
of selling securityholders, as amended to date, may reflect the names of certain
selling securityholders who are transferees of the debentures beneficially held
by other selling securityholders previously identified in the table. As a
result, the totals of the amounts listed under the headings "Principal Amount at
Maturity of Debentures That May Be Sold" and "Number of Shares of Class B Common
Stock That May Be Sold" in the table, as amended to date, may exceed the actual
aggregate principal amount at maturity of debentures and the number of shares of
class B common stock issuable upon conversion of such debentures to which the
prospectus, as amended by this prospectus supplement, relates.
