■Aetna is helping to develop through its philanthropic resources
a new standard of care for patients dealing with end-of-life-care
issues. In 2005, for example, the Aetna Foundation awarded
$175,000 for the trauma unit at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital
of Cook County, Illinois. Stroger Hospital is developing a new
type of hospice program that promises to help change the
nature of the last moments of life for trauma patients and their
families. Part of $2.25 million Aetna and the Aetna Foundation
awarded in 2005 for quality-of-care initiatives, the grant will
help develop a model program of culturally appropriate end-of-
life care that can be shared with urban trauma centers.
■Aetna employees have played a major role in helping Aetna
build healthier communities with impressive gifts of their time
and money, earning a 2005 Award for Excellence in Workplace
Volunteer programs by the Points of Light Foundation and
Volunteer Center National Network. In 2005, with Aetna’s
matching funds, employees and retirees donated $10.5 million
and 155,000 hours of their time.
