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 and entities
who were identified as selling securityholders in the prospectus for whom the
information set forth in the prospectus has changed, 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 "Goldman Sachs & Company", "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.
