NEW YORK (AP) — Health insurer Aetna said Monday it hired Dijuana Lewis of Wal-Mart to lead its consumer products and enterprise division.

Lewis had been in charge of health care solutions for Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

WellPoint Inc. fired Lewis without cause in October 2010. She was in charge of the insurer's comprehensive health solutions business unit, which includes provider relations, and care and disease management.
