Dive Insight:
Miller has served at the helm since 1978. The King of Prussia, PA-based company is ranked 324 on the 2015 Fortune 500 list of America’s top corporations, with revenue totaling $19 billion in 2015—half of that from behavioral health facilities.
Behavioral health operations include 213 inpatient and 16 outpatient facilities. Ninety-four of those were acquired when Universal Health purchased Psychiatric Solutions for $3.1 billion in 2010.
In September, the hospital chain expanded its reach in the behavioral health sector, acquiring Foundations Recovery Network for roughly $350 million, a provider of addiction treatment services.
