"Aetna and Weill Cornell Physicians share the responsibility of giving the 9,000 New Yorkers we both serve high-quality, efficient and coordinated care," said David Kobus, senior vice president of Aetna's New York Network. "Together, Aetna and Weill Cornell are stepping forward to collaborate and share in the accountability of positive patient outcomes."
