I am Tarsis Lopez and work in Baxter International Inc's communications department. I abide by Wikipedia’s core content policies and have developed a positioning statement for how I wish to contribute information that will improve the quality of information about Baxter Healthcare, Baxter Healthcare Corporation and Baxter International Inc. If you would like to contact me, please leave a message on my talk page.

Baxter Positioning Statement:

With the understanding that patients and caregivers are turning to the Internet to search for health information and that Wikipedia ranks very well in most popular search engines, it is one of our responsibilities as a healthcare company to support the Wikipedia community in its aim to produce a neutral and reliably sourced encyclopedia.

We fully abide by the Wikipedia’s three core content policies (i.e. Neutral point of view, Verifiability, No original research) and will not use the Wikipedia encyclopedia for self-promotion.

For the sake of transparency, we will always:
· Work under Wikipedia user accounts that identify our affiliation with Baxter International Inc
· Suggest and discuss changes through the article’s discussions page

We will never:

• Include links to affiliated web sites
  
• Make references to Baxter products and medical devices
  
• Delete “controversial” content unless it is incorrect / not factual
  
• Engage in editing directly any Baxter-related page except for:
  

• • Removing spam and reverting vandalism
  • Deleting content that violates Wikipedia's biography of living persons policy
  • Fixing spelling and grammar errors
  • Reverting or removing our own edits
  • Making edits that have been agreed to on the talk page
