Furthermore, Fran represented Aetna on the Healthcare Leadership Council Board of Directors and the Health Care Transformation Task Force, which he chaired prior to his retirement.

This is a critical objective to improve outcomes and quality, reduce cost and eliminate waste.”

“We are on the journey to empower healthcare stakeholders with vital information required to excel at patient care.
