Seva Values

The values that guide our decisions and actions:

Compassion in Action We do not observe suffering, we address it.

Selfless Service Service is its own reward.

Respect We believe in the fundamental dignity and value of every person.

Equity We serve the underserved to ensure all people have access to quality care.

Fun We never take ourselves too seriously. When you stop laughing, you’ve stopped living.
