About these releases
Announcements relating to Valor Medica and to Sevadar Foundation Inc. For media inquiries, use the general contact details rather than the care request form, which reaches the clinical team.
We do not publish patient stories, images of residents, or case details, including with consent. The people we serve are not promotional material, and a policy that admits exceptions tends to erode.
Who do reporters contact for media inquiries?
Media inquiries and requests for comment should go to the general contact address rather than to the care request form. We can speak to the design of the programs, to what the population presents with clinically, and to how housing and healthcare interact. We will not arrange interviews with residents or patients.
How are corrections handled?
If something published here is inaccurate, tell us and we will correct it and say what changed. Where a figure has been superseded, the page carries the newer figure and notes the revision rather than quietly replacing it.
