Building the Best Baxter
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.
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.
As we look ahead, we know that delivering on our Mission requires us to Build the BEST Baxter—one grounded in integrity, empowerment, and continuous improvement. I invite you to learn more about who we are and what we’re building together.
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.
"Best" Is about Progress, not perfection
If you follow Baxter, you will hear us talk about Building the BEST Baxter. But what does that really mean? For us, it means staying focused on what matters most, holding ourselves accountable, and committing to getting better every day.
Through our Baxter Growth and Performance System (GPS), we’re creating a culture of continuous improvement that empowers teams to identify opportunities, solve problems, and make meaningful progress. We know that every role and every job matters.
An empowered culture
These behaviors help create an environment where people can do their best work while contributing to something bigger than themselves.
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
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 these tools as opportunities to learn, adapt, and apply innovation responsibly in ways that help our teams work smarter and deliver greater value.
Now It's your turn
I'm incredibly proud of what generations of Baxter employees have built over nearly a century. At the same time, I believe our best days are still ahead of us because of the people across Baxter who are committed to making a difference every day.
Best,
Andrew
