\nArizona health plan continues its longstanding support of cardiovascular research and prevention at the Phoenix Heart Walk<\/i><\/p>\n

PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Aetna<\/a>—Banner|Aetna<\/a>, an Arizona-based health plan offering integrated coverage and care through a partnership between Banner Health and Aetna, a CVS Health company, is participating in the 2026 Phoenix Heart Walk<\/a> on March 28.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nOrganized by the American Heart Association, the annual event brings together employers and community collaborators from across the Valley to raise funds for cardiovascular research, education, and disease prevention. As a member of the 2026 Phoenix Heart Walk Executive Leadership Team, Banner|Aetna Chief Financial Officer Dan Keller volunteers his time alongside other Arizona executives to increase awareness, encourage involvement, and expand charitable contributions tied to the event.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHeart disease has impacted my family, so this work is personal,\u201d said Keller. \u201cMy dad had his first heart attack while I was in college, and it was a wake-up call. At Banner|Aetna, we\u2019re committed to supporting people living with cardiovascular disease and the families who care for them\u2014through access to quality care, prevention, and the resources people need to manage their health. The Heart Walk promotes research and education to help people live longer, healthier lives. I\u2019m honored to move that work forward here in Arizona.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSince 2020, the company has played an influential role in the Phoenix Heart Walk through executive engagement and employee-organized giving. In recent years, Banner|Aetna teams have ranked among the event\u2019s top five fundraisers, helping to drive a local campaign that raises more than $1 million for the American Heart Association.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur impact is powered by our people,\u201d said Victoria Coley, CEO of Banner|Aetna. \u201cHeart disease and stroke are still among the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S., and the Heart Walk helps fuel the work that saves lives. Our employees show up year after year because this mission matters, and that consistency reflects our commitment to the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n
