Vantive: A New Company Built On Our Legacy
Baxter is on a journey to separate our approximately $5 billion Kidney Care segment into a standalone company. Vantive will build on our nearly 70-year legacy in acute therapies and home and in-center dialysis to provide best-in-class care to the people we serve. We believe Vantive will not only build our leadership in the kidney care space, it will also offer meaningful work to those who join us.
At Vantive, you will become part of a community of people who are focused, courageous and don't settle for the mediocre. Each of us are driven to help improve patients' lives worldwide. We revolutionize kidney care and other vital organ support.
