Valor Medica is described as the medical arm of Valor Villages Inc.. Both halves of that sentence need stating carefully, because it is the sentence people compress.

What the partnership actually is
Housing and clinical care are complementary and neither works alone. An organization can put a roof over someone’s head and then watch untreated illness undo the placement. A clinician can treat someone and then discharge them to a car. Valor Villages does the first; Valor Medica does the second; they cooperate so that a placement holds.
Valor Medica on the partnership
Where the line is
- Separate corporations. Different EINs, different books, different annual returns, different boards.
- Neither controls the other. Cooperation is not control, and no governance link between them is claimed here.
- A gift to one is not a gift to the other. If you intend to support Valor Villages, give to Valor Villages.
- Neither speaks for the other. Nothing on sevadar.org binds Valor Villages.
The error this page exists to prevent: writing “chief medical officer of Valor Medica.” Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP is Chief Medical Officer of Valor Villages Inc.. The two organizations are legally distinct and the title belongs to one of them.
