I enjoy working with Baxter patients of all ages, from toddlers to seniors, and their families. It has been gratifying to see how patients respond to therapy and know that their health will be improved by Baxter equipment.”

— Gerry Stivender, RRT
“I have learned so much from patients and families through being a Baxter trainer. Their stories have really provided me a touchstone of what should be important in life. Having the privilege to go into someone’s home environment and see the challenges they may face with therapy is a huge advantage as opposed to only seeing them in the hospital.”
