Aetna CEO Mark T. Bertolini to deliver keynote address at the 2012 mHealth Summit to be held December 3-5 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center located in the Washington D.C. area. In his keynote, he will share his personal passion for creating a connected convenient healthcare system empowering patients to take control of their health. In addition, Bertolini will demonstrate how Aetna is using innovative technology to bring this connected convenient system to life.
