NEW YORK, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ramp Corporation today announced that Susan Boucher will serve as Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Public Relations for LifeRamp Family Financial, Inc. ("LifeRamp"). LifeRamp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ramp Corporation, intends to provide financial assistance, to a large subset of individuals with cancer and their families, by letting them establish lines of credit against the face value of their qualifying life insurance policies, at reasonable rates.
Boucher is a registered nurse and cancer survivor with more than 35 years of experience in working with the public. Her professional experience includes critical care nursing, public health and cancer care. As LifeRamp Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Public Relations, Boucher will serve as liaison between LifeRamp, and the medical and patient communities.
"As a nurse, a survivor, and an advocate, I understand the value that LifeRamp can bring to people's lives," stated Boucher. "Unfortunately, the medical community immediately associates insurance-based assistance and patients with viaticals or similar forms of assistance equated with the terminally ill. By comparison, LifeRamp, intends to provide lines of credit against the face value of a qualifying life insurance policy that require no monthly payments or repayment during the lifetime of the insured. I am confident that the LifeRamp solution can make an enormous difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families," Boucher concluded.
"We are gratified to have someone of Susan's caliber and expertise joining us at LifeRamp," said Andrew Brown, Ramp CEO and President. "Susan brings invaluable personal experience and commitment to the effort of educating the medical community, and those with cancer, about the benefits of LifeRamp's LivingChoice(SM) program. At LifeRamp, we believe that our LifeRamp LivingChoice program is a long-overdue financial solution for people living with cancer and their families," concluded Brown.
Boucher has been affiliated with the American Cancer Society -- Texas Division for the past two decades. Since 2001, she has been Associate VP for Research and Leadership Giving. Earlier, she was Executive Director for the Dallas Metro Market (1995-2001). She served as Medical Affairs Director in North Texas from 1984 to 1995. In 1977, Boucher staffed the City of Baltimore's Mayor's Committee on Cancer, chaired by the dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Based on the Committee's efforts, she wrote and subsequently directed a Baltimore program on cancer control.
Boucher is a member of the board of directors of the Texas Partnership for End of Life Care and a founding member of the board of directors of Gilda's Club of North Texas. She continues to serve the American Cancer Society -- Texas Division in a volunteer capacity. She has completed coursework in negotiation skills and management, and is a graduate of Lucy Webb Hayes School of Nursing of American University in Washington, DC.
