Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel to Universal Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedules I and II hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and I am delivering this opinion in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration under the Securities Act of (i) the offering and issuance of up to $700,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.650% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Exchange Notes”), $800,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.650% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Exchange Notes”), and $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.650% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Exchange Notes” and together with the 2026 Exchange Notes and the 2030 Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange for a like principal amount of the Company’s issued and outstanding 1.650% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Original Notes”), 2.650% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Original Notes”) and 2.650% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Original Notes”) as described in the Registration Statement (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) the guarantees of the Exchange Notes by the Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Guarantees”).

The 2030 Original Notes were issued, and the 2030 Exchange Notes will be issued, under the Indenture, dated as of September 21, 2020, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 24, 2021, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 23, 2022, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 4, 2022, among the Company, the Subsidiary

Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (collectively, the “2020 Indenture”). The 2026 Original Notes and the 2032 Original Notes were issued, and the 2026 Exchange Notes and the 2032 Exchange Notes will be issued, under the Indenture, dated as of August 24, 2021, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 23, 2022, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 4, 2022, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (collectively, the “2021 Indenture”).

In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed the Registration Statement insofar as it relates to the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees. I have also examined the following:

 

  (i)

the 2020 Indenture and the 2021 Indenture;

 

  (ii)

duplicates of the global certificates representing the Exchange Notes;

 

  (iii)

the Guarantees, the terms of which are set forth in the 2020 Indenture and the 2021 Indenture;

 

  (iv)

the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2020, by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and

 

  (v)

the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2021, by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Truist Securities, Inc.

In rendering the opinions contained herein, I have relied upon my examination or the examination by members of the Company’s legal staff (in the ordinary course of business) of the original or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the charter, bylaws or other governing documents of Subsidiary Guarantors named on Schedule I hereto (the “Schedule I Guarantors”), resolutions and written consents of their respective boards of directors, general partners, managers and managing members, as the case may be, statements and certificates from officers of the Schedule I Guarantors and, to the extent obtained, from various state authorities, status telecopies provided by Corporation Service Company, and such other documents and records relating to the Schedule I Guarantors as I have deemed appropriate. I, or a member of my staff, have also examined the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate and other records, agreements, documents and other instruments of the Schedule I Guarantors and have made such other investigations as I have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied upon certificates or comparable documents or statements of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and the Schedule I Guarantors.
