Salt Lake City, Utah Jan. 29, 2024 — University of Utah Health and Aetna®, a CVS Health company, today announced a new multi-year agreement that will keep University of Utah Health as an in-network provider for Aetna members. This agreement includes all University of Utah Health hospitals, community health centers and the University of Utah Health Medical Group.
