At Sevaro, our mission has always been clear—save lives through innovative neurology solutions, compassionate care, and a relentless commitment to SEVA, the Sanskrit word for “selfless service.” That spirit of service lives at the heart of everything we do, and it’s the driving force behind CHLD: our Children’s Health Literacy Department.
Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke. Every 4 minutes, someone dies from one. And yet—80% of strokes are preventable.
CHLD is more than an educational program. It’s a national initiative with a bold goal: educate one million young people to recognize the signs of stroke and take life-saving action.
By empowering kids early, we’re not just teaching them how to protect their loved ones—we’re building a healthier, more informed generation.
CHLD is Sevaro’s flagship health literacy initiative designed to bring stroke education and prevention strategies into schools, after-school programs, and youth organizations across the U.S.
Through interactive tools like our “BE FAST, Be a Superhero” book series, hands-on workshops, and ambassador-led outreach, CHLD equips students with:
The ability to identify stroke symptoms quickly using BE FAST
Understanding of how and when to call 911
Awareness of risk factors like high blood pressure
Confidence to act in real-time, possibly saving a life
Sevaro was founded on the principle of SEVA: service without expectation. That philosophy doesn’t stop with patients. It extends into schools, homes, and communities.
CHLD is an extension of that belief—a mission to deliver vital health education to children who otherwise might never learn what a stroke looks like or how to respond.
We’re not just teaching kids facts—we’re giving them the tools to become real-life superheroes.
