UHS NOTIFICATION: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In Universal Health Services, Inc. To Contact The Firm

NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Universal Health Services, Inc. ("UHS" or the "Company") (NYSE: UHS).

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that several psychiatric facilities within the for-profit hospital system kept patients longer than medically necessary in order to increase their profits from insurance payments.

Specifically, on December 7, 2016, BuzzFeed published a year-long investigative story based on interviews with 175 current and former UHS staff alleging that several UHS's psychiatric facilities across the country were systematically understaffed and operated under a profit model that exaggerated patients' symptoms in order to keep them in treatment.
