Lucas Ramirez, FNP-C
Paul Lucas Ramirez, FNP-C began his career as a registered nurse in a coronary intensive care unit in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1998. He later moved to the Central Valley of California (where he was raised) in 2001. While continuing his career in critical care, he completed his Master's degree at California State University, Fresno. It was at this time that the youngest of his four children was diagnosed with autism. Lucas's exploration of possible treatments led him to a Defeat Autism Now! Conference in the spring of 2007. Inspired by new scientific information, he chose to leave his position as a nurse practitioner with two interventional cardiologists, and accept a position at Thoughtful House; the move offered a chance to help his son, and also an opportunity to help other children and their families who are affected by autism. Lucas is a frequent presenter at the Autism Research Institute/Defeat Autism Now! conferences, and he heads up a team that assists families and clinicians in the popular Demonstration Room. He is a certified Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.
