making tomorrow Better

I’m Andrew Hider, President and CEO of Baxter International. For nearly a century, we have been redefining healthcare delivery across hospitals, physician offices, and other sites of care. Today, we're building on that legacy while transforming Baxter to meet the evolving needs of patients, providers and healthcare systems around the world.

At Baxter, our Mission isn’t abstract—it’s clear and tangible. The work we do helps Save and Sustain Lives, impacting more than 350 million people around the world every year. That responsibility shapes how we lead, how we work, and how we grow together.

I invite you to learn more about who we are and what we’re building together. Thank you for visiting our site.

our mission is both global and personal

One of the things that makes Baxter special is the direct connection between what we do and the lives we touch. For many of us, our Mission to Save and Sustain Lives is something you can truly see and feel.

Whether we're visiting a healthcare facility, partnering with customers, supporting manufacturing operations, developing new technologies, or enabling our business from behind the scenes, it’s easy to see how our work contributes to patient care. Our Mission unites and motivates us every day. This is why so many people choose to build their careers here.

Driven by purpose. Guided by Baxter GPS.

Making tomorrow better than today starts with how we work today and every day. For us, it means staying focused on what matters most, holding ourselves accountable, and committing to getting better every day.

Baxter Growth and Performance System (Baxter GPS) helps our teams solve problems, remove obstacles and identify opportunities to create more value for patients and customers every day.

Every role matters. Every improvement matters.

An empowered culture

At Baxter, our culture is grounded in the values that define how we work: caring deeply, acting boldly, and owning our impact. Empowerment isn’t limited to leadership roles or tenure—it’s reflected in how we solve problems, use data, improve processes, and collaborate across teams. We empower colleagues to take action, hold themselves accountable, and speak up with confidence. We believe the best results come from people who take ownership, bring forward ideas and continuously look for ways to improve.

The stronger our culture becomes, the better positioned we are to serve customers, deliver for patients and create long-term value.

Leadership that listens

An empowered culture starts with leaders who listen. At Baxter, we believe the best ideas come from open dialogue and diverse perspectives. Through global town halls, site visits, and direct engagement, our leaders stay connected to the realities our teams face every day. This “listen first” approach isn’t just how we lead, it’s how we build a culture of trust and collaboration with colleagues who feel heard and valued.

our commitment to learning

Our advantage comes from our constant drive to learn. Healthcare, technology, and business are evolving faster than ever. That’s why one of the most important capabilities at Baxter is intellectual curiosity, paired with the humility to keep learning and improving.

Many who thrive here are often able to combine confidence with humility: confident enough to make decisions and take action, and humble enough to recognize there’s always more to learn. The same is true when it comes to emerging technologies like AI. We see emerging technologies like AI as opportunities to learn faster, work smarter and responsibly unlock new possibilities for our teams and customers.

Now It's your turn

I'm incredibly proud of what generations of Baxter employees have built over nearly a century. I'm even more excited about what's ahead.

If you are looking to do meaningful work, grow quickly, and help redefine how healthcare is delivered around the world, I encourage you to explore opportunities at Baxter.

The work matters. The learning is constant. And the impact is real. And we're just getting started.

Best,
