                                PROXY STATEMENT

                                    GENERAL

     This Proxy Statement is furnished to the shareholders of Universal Health
Realty Income Trust, a real estate investment trust organized under the laws of
the State of Maryland (the "Trust"), in connection with the solicitation of
Proxies by the Board of Trustees for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
to be held at Universal Corporate Center, 367 South Gulph Road, King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania on Thursday, June 1, 2000 at 10:00 AM, and at any adjournment
thereof. This Proxy Statement and related form of Proxy were first sent to
shareholders of the Trust on or about April 28, 2000. The Annual Meeting is
being held to: (1) elect two Class II Trustees of the Trust, both of whom will
serve for a term of three years until the annual election of Trustees in the
year 2003 and the election and qualification of their successors; and (2)
transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting or
any adjournment thereof.

     A form of Proxy for use at the meeting is enclosed. Any shareholder may
revoke a Proxy at any time before the authority granted by it is exercised by
giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Trust, by submitting
another executed Proxy to the Secretary of the Trust bearing a later date (but
prior to the voting of such Proxy), or by attending the meeting and asking
(prior to the voting of such Proxy) for the return of such Proxy. Unless
otherwise indicated on the Proxy, shares represented by any Proxy will, if the
Proxy is properly executed and received by the Trust prior to the Annual
Meeting, be voted FOR the nominees for Trustees.

     Only holders of record of the shares of beneficial interest of the Trust,
par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), at the close of business on April 21,
2000 will be entitled to vote at the meeting. On that date, there were 8,992,264
Shares outstanding. Each Share is entitled to one vote on each of the matters to
be presented at the meeting. Shareholders entitled to vote for the election of
the Trustees can withhold authority to vote for them. Each nominee will be
elected if he receives a plurality of the votes cast. Broker non-votes are
treated as shares as to which the beneficial owners have withheld voting
authority and therefore are shares not entitled to vote on the matter. As of
April 21, 2000, the Trust's current trustees and officers as a group owned of
record or beneficially 154,361 Shares, representing 1.7% of the outstanding
Shares.

     A copy of the Trust's Annual Report to Shareholders, including financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999, is enclosed.

         SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

     The following table sets forth as of February 29, 2000, the number of
Shares and the percentage of outstanding Shares owned beneficially, within the
meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13d-3, (i) by each person who
is known by the Trust to own beneficially more than 5% of its Shares (ii) by
each Trustee and each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table
and (iii) by all Trustees and executive officers of the Trust as a group.

                              ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

     The Trust was organized under the laws of the State of Maryland as a real
estate investment trust on August 6, 1986. Trustees of the Trust, Mr. Miller,
and Mr. Cain, assumed their positions with the Trust at the inception of the
Trust. Mr. Tanenbaum was elected in November 1990, Mr. Gorman was elected in
December 1994, Mr. Dalton was elected in December 1997, and Mr. Berger was
elected in December 1998. Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees of
the Trust have been divided into three classes, with staggered terms. The terms
of the Trustees in Class I expire at the 2002 Annual Meeting, the terms of the
Trustees in Class II expire at the 2000 Annual Meeting, and the terms of the
Trustees in Class III expire at the 2001 Annual Meeting. At each Annual Meeting,
Trustees are elected for a term of three years to succeed those in the class
whose term is expiring at such Annual Meeting.

     The persons listed below currently constitute the Trust's Board of
Trustees. The terms of the Class II Trustees, Daniel M. Cain and James E.
Dalton, Jr., expire at the 2000 Annual Meeting. They have been nominated to be
elected for three-year terms. The Trustees have no reason to believe that the
nominees will be unavailable for election; however, if the nominees become
unavailable for any reason, the Shares represented by the Proxy will be voted
for the persons, if any, who are designated by the Board of Trustees to replace
the nominees. The nominees have consented to be named and have indicated their
intent to serve if elected.

     Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, a majority of the Trust's Trustees
must be "Independent Trustees" with each class of Trustees containing at least
one Independent Trustee. The Declaration of Trust defines an "Independent
Trustee" as a Trustee who is not an affiliate of Universal Health Services, Inc.
("UHS"), the parent company of the Trust's Advisor, and does not perform any
services for the Trust, except as Trustee.

     The following information is furnished with respect to the nominee for
election as a Trustee and each member of the Board of Trustees whose term of
office will continue after the meeting.

(a) Other Annual Compensation in 1999, 1998 and 1997 for Messrs. Miller, Gorman,
    Boyle and Fowler and Ms. Ramagano consists of dividend equivalent rights
    accrued in connection with the Trust's 1997 Incentive Plan. As of December
    31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, Messrs. Miller, Gorman, Boyle, Fowler and Ms.
    Ramagano held 25,000, 12,500, 7,500, 7,500 and 7,500 dividend equivalent

    per share for the third quarter of 1997 and $.43 per share for the fourth

(1) Based on the difference between the exercise price (excluding effect of
    dividend equivalent rights) and the closing price of the share of beneficial
    interest on the New York Stock Exchange on December 31, 1999 of $14.625 per
    share.

                 REPORT OF COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE

     The Trust has established incentive plans to incentivize those persons to
render greater service to the Trust. During 1997, the Trust's Board of Trustees
approved the Universal Health Realty Income Trust 1997 Incentive Plan ("The
Plan"), which is a stock option and dividend equivalent rights plan for the
employees of the Trust, including officers and directors. There are 400,000
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. In connection with this plan, stock
options and dividend equivalent rights were granted on June 23, 1997 as follows:
Mr. Alan B. Miller was granted 25,000 stock options and 25,000 dividend
equivalent rights; Mr. Kirk E. Gorman was granted 12,500 stock options and
12,500 dividend equivalent rights; Mr. Charles F. Boyle was granted 7,500 stock
options and 7,500 dividend equivalent rights; Ms. Cheryl K. Ramagano was granted
7,500 stock options and 7,500 dividend equivalent rights and Mr. Timothy J.
Fowler was granted 7,500 stock options and 7,500 dividend equivalent rights. Mr.
Daniel M. Cain and Mr. Myles H. Tanenbaum each received 2,500 stock options and
2,500 dividend equivalent rights pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The stock
options granted pursuant to this Plan were granted with an exercise price of
$18.625 per share representing the closing sale price of the Trust's shares of
beneficial interest on the New York Stock Exchange on June 23, 1997. Also during
1997, Mr. Kirk E. Gorman was granted 2,500 shares of beneficial interest issued
in connection with the 1988 Key Employees' Restricted Share Purchase Plan. The
restrictions on one-fourth of

                                        6
<PAGE>   9

these shares lapse on each of the two, three, four and five year anniversary
dates from the date of grant. The value of these shares as of December 31, 1999
was $36,563 based on the closing sale price of the Trust's shares on that date.
No awards were made in 1996. During 1998, the Trust granted the following stock
options and dividend equivalent rights pursuant to the terms of the 1997
Incentive Plan: (i) 2,500 stock options and 2,500 dividend equivalent rights
were granted to Mr. James E. Dalton, Jr. at an exercise price of $21.4375 per
share; (ii) 2,500 stock options and 2,500 dividend equivalent rights were
granted to Mr. Miles L. Berger at an exercise price of $19.625 per share, and;
(iii) 5,000 stock options and 5,000 dividend equivalent rights were granted to
Mr. Alan Hale at an exercise price of $18.375 per share. The exercise price of
the stock options granted during 1998 represented the closing sale price of the
Trust's shares of beneficial interest on the date of grant.

     The Compensation and Benefits Committee, which is composed of independent
trustees of the Trust, believes that in the general absence of cash
compensation, it is important to provide the officers of the Trust, including
the chief executive officer, an incentive to increase shareholder value by
awarding equity based compensation. Because the substantial portion of the
return of real estate investment trusts like the Trust is comprised of the
dividend payable on the shares rather than share price appreciation the
Committee believes that the 1997 Incentive Plan with its dividend equivalent
rights feature provides the appropriate incentive for officers and directors of
the Trust. The Committee believes that Mr. Gorman's special efforts on behalf of
the Trust merit a special cash bonus of $50,000. As Mr. Gorman is compensated by
UHS which, as the Trust's advisor, received an advisory fee, however, UHS has
elected to reduce this advisory fee by the amount of Mr. Gorman's bonus thus
resulting in no net cost to the Trust. The Committee will evaluate from time to
time the compensation payable to its officers in light of the performance of the
Trust, the individuals involved and competitive factors.

                               BOARD OF TRUSTEES

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD

     Regular meetings of the Trustees are generally held quarterly, while
special meetings are called when necessary. Before each meeting, Trustees are
furnished with an agenda and background materials relating to matters to be
discussed. During 1999, there were seven Board meetings. All Trustees attended
at least 75% of the meetings.

COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEES

     Beginning in 2000, each Independent Trustee will be paid by the Trust
annual compensation of $10,000 for service as a Trustee plus $1000 for
attendance, in person, at each meeting of the Board of Trustees plus an
additional $500 for attendance for each Committee meeting thereof on a day on
which the Board of Trustees does not meet. In addition, the Trust reimburses all
Trustees for travel expenses incurred in connection with their duties as
Trustees of the Trust. In 1992, the Board of Trustees and the shareholders
adopted a Share Compensation Plan For Outside Trustees, pursuant to which
Trustees may elect to receive their annual compensation in the form of Shares in
lieu of cash. No Trustee elected to receive Shares in 1999. During 1997, the
Trust's Board of Trustees approved the Universal Health Realty Income Trust 1997
Incentive Plan ("The Plan"), which is a stock option and dividend equivalent
rights plan for the employees of the Trust, including officers and directors.
The Plan was adopted by the shareholders at the 1998 Annual Shareholders
Meeting. There are 400,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. In
connection with this plan, Messrs. Daniel M. Cain and Myles H. Tanenbaum each
received 2,500 stock options and 2,500 dividend equivalents rights with an
exercise price of $18.625 per share representing the closing sale price of the
Trust's shares of beneficial interest on the New York Stock Exchange on June 23,
1997. In March 1998, Mr. James E. Dalton, Jr. received 2,500 stock options and
2,500 dividend equivalent rights, with an exercise price of $21.4375 per share
representing the closing sale price of the Trust's shares of beneficial interest
on the date of grant. In December 1998, Mr. Miles L. Berger received 2,500 stock
options and 2,500 dividend equivalent rights, with an exercise price of $19.625
per share representing the closing sale price of the Trust's shares of
beneficial interest on the date of grant. In March 2000, Messrs. Daniel M. Cain,
Myles H. Tanenbaum, James E. Dalton Jr., Miles L. Berger and Elliot J. Sussman,
M.D., M.B.A. each received 1,000 stock options and 1,000 dividend equivalent
rights, with an exercise price of $14.75 per share representing the closing sale
price of the Trust's shares of beneficial interest on the date of grant.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The Audit Committee is responsible for providing assistance to the Board of
Trustees in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to corporate accounting and
reporting practices and in maintaining a direct line of communication between
the Trustees and the independent accountants. It recommends the firm to be
appointed independent auditor, reviews the scope and results of the audit with
the independent auditors and considers the adequacy of the internal accounting
and control procedures of the Company. The Audit Committee met once in 1999.
Members of this Committee are Daniel M. Cain, James E. Dalton, Jr. and Myles H.
Tanenbaum.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE

     The Compensation and Benefits Committee was established December 1, 1988
and is responsible for administering the Restricted Share Purchase Plan and the
Stock Option Plan. It has full authority in its discretion from time to time,
and at any time, to select those employees of the Trust, as the term employee is
defined in the plans, to whom Shares or options will be granted, to determine
the number of Shares subject thereto, the times at which such Shares shall be
sold or options granted, the time at which the restrictions on

                                        9
<PAGE>   12

the Shares shall lapse or the options shall vest, and the terms and conditions
of the agreements to be entered into by the employees with the Trust. The
Compensation and Benefits Committee met three times in 1999. Members of this
Committee are Daniel M. Cain, James E. Dalton, Jr. and Miles L. Berger.

                    TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS

RELATIONSHIP WITH UHS

THE ADVISOR AND THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT

     The Trust, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, including all the
Independent Trustees, has entered into an Advisory Agreement with UHS of
Delaware, Inc. (the "Advisor"), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of UHS, pursuant to which the Advisor will act as advisor to the
Trust with respect to the Trust's operations. Mr. Alan B. Miller serves as
Director and President of the Advisor and of UHS. ; Mr. Kirk E. Gorman serves as
Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Advisor ; Mr. Steve Filton serves as
Director, Vice President and Controller of the Advisor ; Mr. Bruce R. Gilbert
serves as Secretary of the Advisor. Alan B. Miller is Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer of the Trust, Kirk E. Gorman is President, Chief
Financial Officer, Secretary and Trustee of the Trust, Charles F. Boyle is Vice
President and Controller of the Trust, Cheryl K. Ramagano is Vice President and
Treasurer of the Trust, Timothy J. Fowler is Vice President, Acquisitions and
Development, of the Trust, Alan Hale is Vice President, Acquisitions and
Development, of the Trust, and Bruce R. Gilbert serves as General Counsel to the
Trust. All such persons are also employees of the Advisor. Mr. James Dalton an
Independent Trustee is President and Chief Executive Officer of Quorum Health
Group, Inc. Affiliates of Quorum Health Group, Inc. and UHS are members of a
limited liability company which owns and operates three hospitals. Under the
Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is obligated to present an investment program to
the Trust, to use its best efforts to obtain investments suitable for such
program (although it is not obligated to present any particular investment
opportunity to the Trust), to provide administrative services to the Trust and
to conduct the Trust's day-to-day affairs. In performing its services under the
Advisory Agreement, the Advisor may utilize facilities, personnel and support
services of various UHS affiliates, including accounting, legal and other
services, for which the Advisor will be reimbursed directly by the Trust, but
only if such services are first approved by a majority of the Independent
Trustees. No additional compensation will be paid by the Trust for these
services.

     The term of the Advisory Agreement expired on December 31, 1999. The Board
of Trustees, on December 1, 1999, voted to renew the Advisory Agreement for
2000. The Advisory Agreement is renewable annually thereafter by the Trust,
subject to a determination by a majority of the Independent Trustees that the
Advisor's performance has been satisfactory, and subject to the termination
rights of the parties. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for any reason
upon sixty days' written notice by the Trust or the Advisor.

     The Advisory Agreement does not restrict the Advisor from rendering advice
to other investors (including other real estate investment trusts) or from
managing other investments, including those of investors or investments advised,
sponsored or organized by the Advisor. The Advisor also may render such services
to joint ventures and partnerships in which the Trust is a co-venturer or
partner and to the other entities in such joint ventures and partnerships, and
the Advisor is not obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to
the Trust. There is no restriction on the right of any director, officer,
employee or stockholder of the Advisor, or any affiliate of UHS, to engage in
any other business or to render services of any kind to any other corporation,
partnership or other entity (including competitive business activities). The
Advisor has informed the Board of Trustees that it does not presently intend to
provide advisory services to any other real estate investment trust and has
agreed to inform the Board of any change in such intention.

                                       10
<PAGE>   13

     Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Trust paid the Advisor $1.2 million
in respect of services rendered by the Advisor to the Trust during fiscal 1999.
UHS has agreed to reduce its 1999 and 2000 advisory fee by the cash bonus paid
by the Trust to Mr. Kirk Gorman. The Advisory Agreement provides that the
Advisor is entitled to receive an annual advisory fee equal to .60% of the
average invested real estate assets of the Trust, as derived from its
consolidated balance sheet from time to time. In addition, the Advisor will be
entitled to an annual incentive fee equal to 20% of the amount by which cash
available for distribution to shareholders for each year, as defined in the
Advisory Agreement, exceeds 15% of the Trust's equity as shown on its balance
sheet, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
without reduction for return of capital dividends. No incentive fees were paid
during 1999, 1998 or 1997. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, subject to
adjustment at year end based upon audited financial statements of the Trust.

PROPERTIES

     The Trust effectively commenced business on December 24, 1986, the closing
date for the purchase of properties from certain subsidiaries of UHS (the
"Subsidiaries"). In exchange for shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value,
in the Trust, the Trust acquired 10 properties (the "Initial Properties") from
the Subsidiaries having an appraised value of approximately $122,000,000. The
Initial Properties were immediately leased back to the respective Subsidiaries.
In March 1988, the Trust acquired the real property of a 118-bed acute care
hospital operated by a subsidiary of UHS for approximately $9,500,000. The Trust
concurrently leased the hospital to that UHS subsidiary on a long-term basis.
The fixed term of the leases ranges from 10-15 years with up to six additional
five-year renewal options. In 1989, two of these facilities consolidated their
operations. The leases all provide for minimum rents and additional rents are
payable if facility revenues increase. Additional rent is equal to 5% of the
increase in facility revenues over a base period until the facility lease rate
grows to 13.5% of the Trust's original shareholders' equity. Thereafter,
additional rent is equal to 1% of the increase in facility revenues. The
obligations under the leases are guaranteed by UHS.

     During 1991, the Trust sold to UHS a 124-bed acute care hospital for its
net book value of approximately $5.7 million, which was higher than its
appraised value. The real property of this hospital was previously leased to
UHS. Also during 1991, the Trust acquired from UHS, for approximately $4.1
million, newly constructed patient buildings on the campus of one of the
behavioral health facilities already owned by the Trust.

     In 1992, one of the Subsidiaries of UHS ceased operations at the facility
leased by it from the Trust and, in 1993, UHS purchased the real property of
that facility from the Trust for approximately $3.2 million, the original
purchase price of the facility, which was higher than its appraised value, and
resulted in a $371,000 gain, which was included in the Trust's 1993 first
quarter results. Also during the fourth quarter of 1993, UHS, the former lessee
and operator of Belmont Community Hospital, sold the operations of the facility
to Transitional Hospitals Corporation ("THC"), an unaffiliated third party.
Concurrently, the Trust purchased certain related real property from UHS for $1
million in cash and a note payable with a carrying value of $1.3 million
(including accrued interest) at December 31, 1999. The note payable has a face
value of $1 million and is due on December 31, 2001. The amount of interest
payable on this note is contingent upon the financial performance of this leased
facility and its estimated face value at the end of the initial lease term. The
Trust has estimated the total amount payable under the terms of this note and
has discounted the payments to their net present value using a 6% rate. In
connection with this transaction, UHS's lease with the Trust was terminated, and
the Trust entered into an eight year lease agreement with THC for the real
property of the Belmont Community Hospital facility.

     During the third quarter of 1995, UHS purchased the assets of Westlake
Medical Center, ("Westlake") a 126-bed hospital of which the majority of real
estate assets were owned by the Trust and leased to UHS. In

                                       11
<PAGE>   14

exchange for the real estate assets of Westlake and the termination of the
lease, the Trust received substitution properties valued at approximately $19
million (the Trust's original purchase price of Westlake) consisting of
additional real estate assets which were owned by UHS but related to three acute
care facilities, of which the Trust owns the real estate and which are operated
by UHS (McAllen Medical Center, Inland Valley Regional Medical Center and
Wellington Regional Medical Center). These additional real estate assets
represent major additions and expansions made to these facilities by UHS since
the purchase of the facilities by the Trust from UHS in 1986. The Trust also
purchased from UHS, additional real estate assets related to McAllen Medical
Center for approximately $1.9 million in cash. Total annual base rental payments
from UHS to the Trust on the substituted properties will be $2.4 million which
equals the total base and bonus rental earned by the Trust on the Westlake
facility during 1994 ($2.1 million base and $300,000 bonus). Total annual base
rental payments on the additional real estate assets purchased related to
McAllen Medical Center will be approximately $200,000. Bonus rental on the
substituted and purchased real estate assets will be equal to 1% of the growth
in revenues, in excess of base year amounts, generated by these additional
assets. The guarantee by UHS under the existing leases, as amended to include
the additional property, will continue.

     During the third quarter of 1998, wholly-owned subsidiaries of UHS
exercised five-year renewal options on four hospitals owned by the Trust which
were scheduled to expire in 1999 through 2001 (Virtue Street Pavilion, The
Bridgeway, Inland Valley Regional Medical Center and Wellington Regional Medical
Center). The leases on these facilities were renewed at the same lease rates and
terms as the initial leases and these renewals remove the majority of the
previously disclosed uncertainty regarding the lease renewals with subsidiaries
of UHS. As part of the renewal agreement, the Trust also agreed to grant
additional fixed rate renewal options to a wholly-owned subsidiary of UHS
commencing in 2022 on the real property of McAllen Medical Center.

     During 1999, the Trust paid $5.0 million to acquire a 98% interest in a
limited liability company that owns the Summerlin Hospital Medical Office
Building, which was constructed in 1997 and is connected to the Summerlin
Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Summerlin Hospital Medical Center
is owned by a limited liability company in which UHS holds a 72% ownership
interest. Summerlin Hospital Medical Office Building was owned by this same
limited liability company prior to the sale to the limited liability company in
which the Trust holds a 98% ownership interest. Also during 1999, the Trust
acquired the Orthopedic Specialists of Nevada Building in Las Vegas, Nevada for
$1.6 million. The ground lease on this medical office building is based upon an
agreement between Valley Health Systems, LLC (a UHS subsidiary) and the Trust.
In addition, the Trust purchased from UHS, additional real estate assets related
to Chalmette Medical Center for approximately $3.2 million in cash.

     Pursuant to the terms of the leases with UHS, the lessees have rights of
first refusal to: (i) purchase the respective leased facilities during and for
180 days after the lease terms expire at the same price, terms and conditions of
any third party offer, or; (ii) renew the lease on the respective leased
facility at the end of, and for 180 days after, the lease term on the same terms
and conditions as to any third party offer. The leases also grant the lessees
options, exercisable on at least six months notice, to purchase the respective
leased facilities at the end of the lease term or any renewal term at the
facility's then fair market value. The terms of the leases also provide that in
the event UHS discontinues operations at the leased facility for more than one
year, or elects to terminate its lease prior to the expiration of its term for
prudent business reasons, UHS is obligated to offer a substitution property. If
the Trust does not accept the substitution property offered, UHS is obligated to
purchase the leased facility back from the Trust at a price equal to the greater
of its then fair market value or the original purchase price paid by the Trust.
