The outlook is stable. The affirmation follows the company's expansion of its outstanding 7.125% unsecured note issue due 2016 by $150 million, to $400 million. Universal will use the proceeds of this additional debt to repay a portion of the borrowings under its revolving credit facility and to fund ongoing capital commitments. "The investment-grade rating on Universal reflects the company's moderately diverse hospital portfolio, reasonably strong positions in growing communities, and conservative financial policy that helps it maintain an intermediate financial risk profile," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">913903</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">35102020 351020 3510 35</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Universal Health Services Inc.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">105346</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">UHS</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">NEWS</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">FI</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Health</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/moodys/PR_156510_795710</link><guid isPermaLink="false">moodys/PR_156510_795710</guid><moodys:index_mode xmlns:moodys="http://www.alacra.com/moodys">html</moodys:index_mode><description>Global Credit Research Rating Action # JUN ####   Rating Action: Universal Health Services, Inc.
