WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Health president and chief executive officer Larry Merlo will join an exceptional mix of business experts and thought leaders who will share their insights on the accelerated pace of change in health care and how innovation, investments in technology, emerging business models and new competition are transforming the $3.6 trillion health care industry sector during Spotlight Health, the three-day health conference and opening segment of the annual Aspen Ideas Festival.

“Today’s health care system has become increasingly fragmented and complex for consumers to navigate and afford. And without true innovation, more Americans will simply be without health care in the future,” said Merlo. “I am looking forward to sharing the ways our company is transforming health care in America today, and the bold ways we will drive health care transformation in the future that will reshape how health care is accessed and delivered with the patient at the center of all that we do.”
Merlo will join Kaiser Permanente CEO Bernard Tyson for the opening session at Spotlight Health on June 21 (5:00 p.m. MT) at the Greenwald Pavilion, with CNBC health care reporter Bertha Coombs moderating the panel discussion.
During the panel discussion, Merlo will address ways to make real progress for the country’s health care system and for the individual health care consumer. He will also discuss CVS Health’s unique and growing position in the marketplace to create a new paradigm for health care engagement that combines data-driven insights with the convenience of community-based care to provide a highly personalized consumer health care experience that supports the primary care medical home and can increase access to care, improve patient outcomes and lower costs.
