About Us

At Kevala, we’re transforming healthcare staffing with intelligent, data-driven solutions that simplify workforce management. Our platform helps organizations from senior living communities to hospital systems build smarter schedules, maintain compliance, and optimize operations—giving healthcare teams the freedom to focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care.

A healthcare crisis and 
a call to action

Schedules taped to walls. Endless logins to software no one wants to use. Shrinking teams stretched thin by burnout, and soaring costs. In 2020, COVID-19 blew the lid off a long-simmering crisis: overburdened caregivers, a vulnerable aging population, and a workforce struggling to keep up. For co-founders Todd Owens, Patrick Lawler, and Noah Kusz, it was a call to action. As hospitals scrambled to fill shifts, they realized the problem wasn’t just a lack of staff—it was the lack of tools to manage them effectively.

Healthcare needed a platform built with its unique challenges in mind—not a generic solution retrofitted from other industries. Kevala’s mission was clear: to build tech that people actually want to use, empowering teams to deliver better care without sacrificing their own well-being.

Our Mission

Kevala’s mission is to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare globally, by empowering leaders and front-line staff with innovative tools to build a happier, healthier workforce.

We do this through smarter scheduling, radical usability, and workflow automation that allows our customers to focus on delivering the best care.

Our Values

We Are Bold Innovators

We’re disruptors, but with purpose. We always keep our end users in mind, and we use AI and UX as a means to build a happier and healthier workforce.

We Have a Customer-First Mindset

We earn the right to be an extension of our customer’s team. We are their trusted advisor to help reach their goals. We do what we promise, and we provide useful support at every step of the way.

We Believe Happier Staffers Equal Happier Patients, Residents

We lighten the load for providers, giving them the time and freedom to focus on what they do best—providing exceptional care and building meaningful connections with their patients or residents.

We Are Data-Driven

We leverage all available data to make smart predictions and automate work for front line staff. Data empowers our customers by giving them the insights they need to make informed decisions and transform their business.

“Scheduling can be pretty boring, but we started there because it’s a complex but critical input to both quality care and employee satisfaction. By replacing analog and disconnected tools with software designed to actually do the work, our customers are able to focus on their mission knowing that their operation is healthy.”

– Todd Owens

We don’t just fill schedules we solve problems

Our approach? Simple: We don’t just fill schedules. We solve problems. Our intelligent platform brings every workforce type—full-time, part-time, float, and agency—into a seamless team. It learns, adapts, and works for you, accounting for qualifications, preferences, and patient needs. The result? Less burnout, better outcomes, and a system that runs the way it should.

At Kevala, we’re not here to tweak the status quo. We’re here to disrupt it. Because healthcare deserves more than spreadsheets and outdated tools. It deserves technology that elevates care, saves precious resources, and empowers action.

Step into the future with us. Let’s rebuild healthcare workforce management—smarter, stronger, and centered on the people who make care possible.
