From Caregiver to Patient to Employee – Meet Our Inspiring Colleague Chris Revis

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) • Patient Story • Peritoneal Dialysis
Chris Revis

Chris Revis’ personal connection to Vantive (formerly Baxter Kidney Care) began long before he joined us as a senior training specialist within our renal therapy services team.

Growing up, Chris’ mother had chronic kidney disease (CKD). By age 13, Chris had witnessed firsthand the life-sustaining impact of Vantive’s therapies, including peritoneal dialysis, which he helped his mother perform at home. Years later, Chris found himself in need of the same care and became a home dialysis patient himself while he awaited a kidney transplant.  

This year, Chris celebrates four years since his transplant. In his work at Vantive, he draws on his personal experience as a home dialysis patient to create tools, implement training, and improve processes that enhance how Vantive supports patients facing the same questions, challenges, and concerns he once did.

Chris’ journey is a powerful reminder of how peritoneal dialysis can support patients not just in treatment, but in reclaiming their lives. To learn more about home dialysis and other therapy options, visit our Therapies page.
