A lan Miller is the founder and longtime Executive Chairman of Universal Health Services (UHS), one of the largest hospital management companies in the United States. A graduate of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Miller began his career in business before identifying an opportunity in the healthcare sector. In 1979, he founded UHS with six employees and a clear vision: to build a portfolio of high-quality hospitals that delivered excellent patient care while maintaining strong financial discipline.
Under his decades of leadership, UHS grew from a small startup into a Fortune 500 company, operating a vast network of acute care hospitals, behavioral health facilities, and ambulatory centers across the U.S. and the U.K. Miller's leadership style is known for being hands-on and focused on long-term, steady growth. He served as CEO for over 40 years before transitioning to the Executive Chairman role in 2021, handing the CEO reins to his son, Marc Miller. The company remains a testament to his enduring strategy of building a healthcare giant one well-managed facility at a time.
