("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 in the prospectus is hereby amended to amend the
information provided for "Any other holder of debentures or future transferee,
pledgee, donee or successor of any holder" and "Total" in the table of selling
securityholders in the prospectus.
