Aetna Catches “Husky Fever”

HARTFORD, Conn., April 02, 2009 — The University of Connecticut's Men's and Women's basketball teams are heading to the National College Athletic Association's (NCAA's) Final Four championship series this weekend, and the Nutmeg State has once again been swept with a dramatic case of "Husky Fever." 

Hartford is home to Aetna's national corporate headquarters, and more than 20 percent of our national workforce lives, works and plays in Connecticut - so the company joins in the State's double dose of Final Four excitement as both our Men's and Women's teams contend for their respective national titles.  Aetna will proudly cheer on the UConn Husky Teams by lighting up the cupola on top of our corporate headquarters white and blue this weekend. 

Aetna is pleased to join in supporting our UConn teams, along with Governor M. Jodi Rell, who declared this weekend "UConn Huskies Blue & White Weekend" in Connecticut. Along with thousands of other Connecticut fans, we look forward to cheering on our UConn Huskies as they enter the Final Four series this weekend.
