In this episode of the DeviceTalks Weekly Podcast, host Tom Salemi speaks with Cecilia Soriano, global president of Infusion Therapies and Technologies at Baxter. Soriano details how the company responded after Hurricane Helene severely damaged its North Carolina facility last fall. With floodwaters halting operations and disrupting supplies—especially IV bags—Baxter had to make bold, fast decisions to get back online. Soriano shares key lessons in crisis response and supply chain resiliency.
