PITTSBURGH, June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- UPMC Health Plan president and CEO, Diane Holder, will be a featured speaker on the "Health Systems of the Future" panel taking place during the 2018 Aspen Ideas Festival and Spotlight Health, presented by the Aspen Institute in partnership with The Atlantic, from June 21-24, 2018.
