Wall Street analysts and health-care experts say CVS Health Chief Executive Larry Merlo faces a stiff challenge as he seeks to combine the disparate operations of Aetna and CVS. Mr. Merlo was in Hartford, Conn., on Monday speaking to employees at Aetna’s headquarters there. His father died while he was still in school, and the pharmacy where Mr. Merlo worked at the time lent him money to help pay for classes. Mr. Merlo sits on the university’s board and goes back every year to teach a course. He renamed the company, then called CVS Caremark, to CVS Health.
