Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces an investigation
on behalf of investors of Universal Health Services, Inc.
(“Universal Health” or the “Company”) (NYSE: UHS) investors
concerning the Company and its officers’ potential violation of
federal securities laws.
Universal Health, through its subsidiaries, owns and operates
acute care hospitals, behavioral health centers, surgical
hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and radiation oncology
centers.
On December 7, 2016, BuzzFeed issued a report
revealing the results of its investigation into Universal Health.
BuzzFeed’s investigation was based upon interviews with current and
former Universal Health employees, including executives who had
operational responsibilities in hospitals. The investigation also
included interviews with patients and government investigators.
According to the report, employees from Universal Health hospitals
said they were “under pressure to fill beds by almost any method –
which sometimes meant exaggerating people’s symptoms or twisting
their words to make them seem suicidal – and to hold them until
their insurance payments ran out.”
On this news, shares of Universal Health fell over 12% to close
at just $111.36 per share on December 7, 2016.
