CVS Health [NYSE: CVS] President and CEO Larry Merlo will share his insights on the accelerated pace of change in health care and vision for transforming America’s $3.6 trillion health care system during a gathering of Town Hall Los Angeles, the city’s oldest and largest public speaking forums for presenting solutions to the most relevant issues affecting the Los Angeles community.
“Today’s health care system has become increasingly fragmented and too complex for people to navigate and afford. And without true innovation, more Americans will simply be without health care in the future,” said Merlo. “I’m looking forward to sharing with leaders from across Los Angeles the many ways our company is transforming health care today, and our even more ambitious journey to lead the change that is needed more broadly in American health care in the future.”
During his remarks, Merlo will highlight how the combination of CVS Health and Aetna, one of the nation’s leading diversified health care benefits companies, will combine data-driven insights, new digital technologies, and the convenience of local community-based care to establish a new health care delivery model that is easier to use, less expensive and puts consumers at the center of their care.
Merlo is scheduled to make his remarks on Thursday, September 20, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., at the City Club of Los Angeles. To attend the event, visit Town Hall Los Angeles.
