Nutritional Care
When medical conditions prevent you from adequately feeding yourself, Baxter provides life-saving clinical nutrition options to help you regain your health.
Malnutrition can be a serious problem for people with vulnerable health conditions; for the 1 in 10 newborns who are preterm; for chemotherapy patients who have lost the ability to consume food; for patients who have undergone major surgeries; and for chronically ill patients.
Getting the nutrients required to regain and maintain your health can often be difficult or impossible through normal consumption, or even tube-fed solutions. Therefore, we pioneered parenteral (intravenous) nutrition (PN) solutions in the 1940s; becoming a clinical nutrition leader through innovative and accessible products and services for patients around the world.
To help patients regain health and strength, we work with doctors, nurses and clinical nutritionists to help ensure that they get the nutrients needed in a safe and effective manner.
My normal doesn't look like everyone else's normal … I carry my nutrition, the therapy I receive daily in a backpack, which is incredibly convenient because it allows me to still be mobile.
"The impact Baxter has on me personally is that they make their products in a way that focuses on innovation and safety; it's reassuring to think they have my back, and I'm not doing this by myself.Jana, Home Parenteral Nutrition Consumer
