WORLD TOP 5 MEDICAL INSURANCE COMPANIES

Aetna, Inc.

history

Today’s Aetna, Inc. is the descendant of the Aetna Life Insurance Company, which was incorporated in 1853. In 1931, their corporate headquarters building was constructed on Farmington Avenue in Hartford. Designed by James Gamble Rogers, it is a Colonial Revival building far more monumental than any actually built during the colonial period. In a sense it is like the Old State Housesteroids, and shares some stylistic similarities with that historic structure. on
