ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER.

          This statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares (the "Shares") of
Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value, of Universal Health Services, Inc. (the
"Issuer").  The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 367
South Gulph Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406.  This statement on
Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Person (as defined below) to
report a recent acquisition of Shares, as a consequence of which the Reporting
Person became the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Shares.

ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

          This statement is filed on behalf of Mr. George Soros ("Mr. Soros")
in his capacity as sole proprietor of an investment advisory firm conducting
business under the name Soros Fund Management (the "Reporting Person" or
"SFM").  The statement relates to Shares acquired at the direction of the
Reporting Person for the respective accounts of Quantum Partners LDC ("Quantum
Partners") and Quasar International Partners C.V. ("Quasar Partners"), two of
the Reporting Person's institutional clients (the "SFM Clients") which have
granted investment discretion to the Reporting Person pursuant to separate
investment advisory contracts (the "SFM Contracts").

          SFM is a sole proprietorship of which Mr. Soros is the sole
proprietor.  It has its principal office at 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, New
York 10106.  Its sole business is to serve, pursuant to contract, as the
principal investment manager or asset manager to several foreign investment
companies, including the SFM Clients.  SFM's contracts with its clients
generally provide that SFM is responsible for designing and implementing the
client's overall investment strategy; for conducting direct portfolio
management strategies to the extent SFM determines that it is appropriate to
utilize its own portfolio management capabilities; for selecting, evaluating
and monitoring other investment advisers who manage separate portfolios on
behalf of the client; and for allocating and re-allocating the client's assets
among them and itself.

          Pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), Mr. Soros (as the
sole proprietor and the person ultimately in control of SFM) may be deemed a
"beneficial owner" of securities, including the Shares, held for the respective
accounts of the SFM Clients as a result of the contractual authority of SFM to
exercise investment discretion with respect to such securities.

          The principal occupation of Mr. Soros, a U.S. citizen, is his
direction of the activities of SFM, which is carried out in his capacity as the
sole proprietor of SFM at SFM's principal office.  Information concerning the
identity and background of the Managing Directors of SFM is set forth in Annex
A hereto, which is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2.

          During the past five years, the Reporting Person has not been (a)
convicted in a criminal proceeding, or (b) a party to any civil proceeding as a
result of which he has been subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

          Quasar Partners expended $4,874,939.16 of its working capital to
purchase the Shares which are reported in Item 5(c) as having been purchased
for its account during the past 60 days.  The Shares held by the SFM Clients
were purchased through margin accounts maintained for each of them with Arnhold
and S. Bleichroeder, Inc., which extends margin credit to the SFM Clients as
and when required to open or carry positions in their respective margin
accounts, subject to applicable Federal margin regulations, stock exchange
rules and the firm's credit policies.  The positions held in the margin
accounts, including the Shares, are pledged as collateral security for the
repayment of debit balances in the respective accounts.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

          The Reporting Person acquired the Shares for the account of the SFM
Clients for investment purposes, and the Reporting Person does not have any
present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any change in the
business, policies, management, structure or capitalization of the Issuer.  The
Reporting Person reserves the right to acquire additional securities of the
Issuer, to dispose of such securities at any time or to formulate other
purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to
the extent deemed advisable in light of its general investment and trading
policies, market conditions or other factors.  The Reporting Person may
notify management of the Issuer that, if management is willing to do so, the
Reporting Person is available to discuss, and may be willing to participate in,
any proposals for enhancing shareholder value.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          (a)  The Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner of
735,200 Shares (approximately 5.6% of the total number of Shares outstanding).
This number consists of (i) 475,100 Shares held for the account of Quantum
Partners (approximately 3.6% of the total number of Shares outstanding) and
(ii) 260,100 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners (approximately 2.0%
of the total number of Shares outstanding).  Mr. Soros, as sole proprietor of
SFM, may be considered a beneficial owner of the Shares held for the account of
the SFM Clients by reason of the SFM Contracts with the SFM Clients for the
purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.  Mr. Robert Raiff, a Managing
Director of SFM, may be considered a beneficial owner for the purposes of
Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act of 31,000 Shares held for the account of
Centurion Partners, L.P., a limited partnership of which Mr. Raiff is the sole
general partner.

          (b)  SFM exercises the sole power to direct the disposition and
voting of the 475,100 Shares held for the account of Quantum Partners and the
260,100 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners.

          (c)  A schedule identifying all transactions involving the Shares
effected by the Reporting Person since March 20, 1994 (the 60 days prior to the
date hereof) is included as Annex B hereto which is incorporated by reference
in response to this Item 5(c).  Each of the transactions was executed in
conventional brokerage transactions in the over-the-counter market.  Except for
the transactions listed in Annex B, there have been no transactions with
respect to the Shares since March 20, 1994, 60 days prior to the date hereof,
by the Reporting Person or other persons identified in response to Item 2.

          (d)  The shareholders of the SFM Clients have the right to
participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds for the sale of,
securities held by the respective SFM Clients (including the Shares) in
accordance with their respective share ownership interests in the SFM Clients.

          (e)   Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS IN RELATIONSHIP WITH RESPECT
          TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          The Reporting Person does not have any contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
