At UHS, we believe caring for patients goes beyond treating the physical ailment or injury that brought them to seek our care—we help people get back to what matters most: family, well-being and life on their terms.
As you will see throughout this issue of Stay Healthy, healthcare at UHS encompasses so much more than clinical care—it is a commitment to building a healthier community, investing in the patient experience and empowering people to live their lives to the fullest.
Our cover story features the recovery journeys of two UHS Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation patients: Kaylee Goodspeed, a 16-year-old competitive cheerleader, and Jim McKenna, a 75-year-old cyclist. Their remarkable stories highlight the life-changing impact of high-quality care—helping patients return to their passions with greater comfort, confidence and peace of mind.
You will also get a glimpse into the work of the UHS Population Health Team, which supports patients beyond the clinical setting by helping them overcome challenges that affect their overall well-being. The team’s incredible contributions are a critical piece of UHS’ mission to take a holistic approach to health, ensuring a meaningful patient experience that extends far beyond the walls of our hospitals and practices.
Our commitment goes beyond patients; we invest in our people too. Thanks to a $3.8 million grant, we are expanding opportunities for our nurses, providing tools for professional growth and reinforcing the strong foundation they bring to every patient’s healing journey.
Across the UHS System, we work tirelessly to improve access to care for all the people we serve. These stories are proof that progress never stops at UHS—and neither does our commitment to strengthen our community and lift up our people.

PRESIDENT AND CEO OF UHS
