Our Values

The heart of what we do

At the heart of Liva Healthcare are four core values that guide our actions and shape our culture. These values ensure that we stay true to our mission while fostering a positive, innovative, and inclusive environment.

Togetherness

We embrace togetherness: fostering a warm and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. This sense of wellbeing, trust, and honesty extends to our interactions with clients, patients, and colleagues, creating a supportive community that prioritises balance and care.

Exceptional service is at our heart. We are committed to going above and beyond for our clients, partners, patients, and each other – ensuring needs are met with empathy, efficiency, and a genuine dedication to improving their health and wellbeing.

We thrive on innovation. We’re constantly looking for new ways to improve healthcare delivery through cutting-edge solutions, with a foundation of evidence-based science and research. We encourage creativity and forward-thinking, empowering our team to challenge the status quo and drive meaningful change.

Growth

Growth is both a goal and a mindset at Liva. We are dedicated to personal and professional development, continuously expanding our knowledge, skills, and impact to better serve our patients, clients, and our communities.

A message from our CEO

Welcome to Liva Healthcare!

The global burden of chronic disease has reached staggering levels. One in four people worldwide – some two million people – now live with a chronic condition such as heart disease, diabetes or kidney disease.¹

And the problem is getting worse. Obesity, which drives many chronic conditions and is now recognised as a disease in its own right, is far more common than just a few decades ago. Globally, one in six adults (16%) is now living with obesity – double the proportion in 1990 – while 43% are either overweight or obese.²

These changes have been driven by a complex web of changes to lifestyles, diet, exercise, and socioeconomics.

But there is hope.

At Liva Healthcare, we are striving for better health and wellbeing for all. By giving people the tools to take better control of their own lifestyles, we help them prevent, manage and even reverse chronic disease.

Since Liva began 10 years ago, we have made huge progress. We’ve established strong positions in countries including the Denmark and the UK, and have developed significant partnerships with publicly funded health providers such as England’s National Health Service (NHS).

Last year we announced a major new partnership with Boots, the UK’s largest retail pharmacy chain. We’ll be supporting patients who manage their weight using potent GLP-1 medications, accessed on prescription via the Boots Online Doctor service, with our evidence-based, personalised lifestyle management programmes which are led by health coaches. We aim to help tens of thousands of Boots patients achieve their goals of sustainable, long term weight management and healthier lifestyles.

But this is just the start.

Today, we are more excited than ever, having set ourselves the task of empowering one million people with our evidence-based therapeutic lifestyle interventions by 2030.

Liva is harnessing the power of AI to enhance our digital platform and support our health coaches so they can do more of what they do best: giving personalised, accessible – and human – advice and encouragement. This will enable us scale up more effectively and affordably, reaching more people who need our services, quicker.

We are also planning new partnerships – in countries close to home and further afield – so do stay tuned.

None of this would be possible without our dedicated team of “BeLivas”, who give their best every day and live our values of Serviceability, Togetherness, Innovation and Growth. Thank you.
