Universal Health Services

Universal Health Services (UHS) runs one of the nation's largest behavioral health networks, with 450+ facilities in 39 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. Since 1979, UHS has treated depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and other mental health conditions through inpatient, outpatient, and residential care, earning recognition among the nation's most admired healthcare companies. As part of a broader health system, UHS also provides acute medical care, health insurance through Prominence Health Plan, and physician management through Independence Physician Management.Growing to Strengthen Local CommunitiesSince 1979, UHS has grown from six employees to more than 100,000 today, guided by founder Alan B. Miller's commitment to patient care and integrity from day one. UHS teams live and work in the neighborhoods they serve, investing in local jobs and community organizations rather than operating at a distance. This local presence, paired with high accountability standards, keeps care personal even as the company grows.Offering Hope, Help, and HealingUHS behavioral health facilities meet each patient at the right level of care, from hospital stabilization to outpatient and residential support as recovery continues. Veterans and first responders work with clinicians trained in military and public safety culture, while dedicated tracks help patients navigate substance use, eating disorders, and autism spectrum disorder with therapy built around their specific needs. Each program aims to send patients home equipped for lasting recovery, not just symptom relief.Tracking Outcomes to Strengthen CareUHS behavioral health facilities report clinical outcomes to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) each year, and the results speak for themselves. In 2025, 90% of surveyed patients said they felt better after treatment, and more than 400,000 patient surveys produced an overall satisfaction score of 4.43 out of 5. This ongoing measurement helps UHS refine treatment and demonstrate real results to patients and families.
