CVS Health President and CEO Larry Merlo will speak at an Executive Club of Chicago event to discuss how health care in the Untied States is accessed, delivered and financed.

Also among the topics discussed by Merlo will be the the next 10 years and why it will be a critical decade for American's health care system and determining if better health outcomes and increased value will can be achieved.

The event announced by CVS Health came about because only 3 percent of Americans live healthy lifestyles and the amount of money being spent has grown from 5 percent of GDP in 1960 to 18 percent. CVS Health believes that solutions to this issue exist and must be explored.
