Ruth Ransom is celebrating her one-year anniversary with HCHD Foundation in September, and we are thrilled to have her as part of our team.
Prior to arriving at the Foundation, Ruth served in a variety of professional and volunteer roles in Houston for over thirty years. These roles included, CFO of MetroCorp Bancshares and Vice President of JPMorgan Chase Bank, Treasurer and Trustee of the Board of Trustees of the Awty International School, volunteer-Alley Theatre, Boy Scouts, and the Houston Live Stock Show.
Ruth has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas, Austin, attended National Chengchi University in Taiwan, and Beijing Normal University in Beijing. When not working, you’ll find her sailing with her husband of 33 years and two sons.
In my community work, I have seen the needs first hand. I have seen families in need. I have seen what a difference healthcare makes for not only the parents who exhale when the doctors say their children are fine, but also the tears when the news is otherwise. I have seen parents who are struggling, hoping to see their children grow into adulthood, and as a mother, I understand this. The Foundation is very important to me, because I have seen the difference it makes here at Harris Health System with the dedicated doctors and nurses, but also in the communities’ nonprofits as well. I am looking forward to a long career at the Foundation, but most of all, I look forward to making a difference.”
