Quality healthcare is our passion, improving lives is our reward
Through our relentless focus on quality, we’re working to change lives and transform the delivery of healthcare.
Patients are our top priority
Acute Care Quality
With its clinical leadership and expertise and an unwavering commitment to excellence, the UHS Acute Care division is raising the bar in quality patient care and transforming the patient experience, ensuring it remains at the center of the healthcare delivery model.
Earning accreditation from The Joint Commission is choosing to pursue a commitment to excellence across the spectrum of care.
UHS has a longstanding, independently validated and evidence-based record of providing quality healthcare services to patients and their families. Proudly, in our more than 40-year history, no UHS facility has failed to be accredited or re-accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC) or Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), the nation’s highest healthcare standards-setting organizations whose rigorous clinical assessment protocols are widely respected throughout the healthcare industry.
An accreditation or certification of a UHS hospital or program by TJC indicates that the facility not only complies with the highest national standards for safety and quality of care, but also is committed to continually improving patient care.

Make Heart Health a Priority
Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States, with one person dying every 37 seconds, and nearly half of all Americans reporting they have at least one of three key risk factors — high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking. In the past year, COVID-19 has emerged as a huge complicating factor in the fight against heart disease.
A Company of Heroes
With COVID-19 vaccinations beginning to roll out, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As always, the work continues to protect our patients, our colleagues and our communities. Whether a nurse, doctor, therapist, technician, admissions staff, pharmacist, dietician, administrator or any number of other roles at a hospital, behavioral health facility, ambulatory care center or the corporate office, all UHS employees are important in the fight against COVID-19. They all make an impact – and they all are Healthcare Heroes.
