Why CVS-Aetna?

Do things that matter. Diabetes, congestive heart failure, COPD, back pain, asthma, pulmonary_brosis, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, cancer... everyone knows someone affected by these chronic conditions. Our goal is to decrease cost and improve health for members with chronic disease. We do this by using data science and advanced analytics (e.g., condition-specific predictive models and clinical data mining) to improve their care journeys and outcomes, and bend the business case to favor the right members getting the right interventions at the right time.

Mission aligned to improve health. With +9,900 stores, >1,100 minute clinics, 1,100 health hubs, and millions of American insured lives, more than 80% of Americans live within 5 miles of a CVS.
