Rep. Scott Fetgatter, R-Okmulgee, received a Legislative Hero Award recently from the Oklahoma Nurses Association (ONA). He was recognized during an awards luncheon held Thursday, Sept. 25, at the Embassy Suites Conference and Convention Center in Norman.
According to the ONA, the Legislative Hero Award was given to Fetgatter in appreciation of his support and guidance on legislation supporting nurses, the nursing profession and the health of all Oklahomans.
“Nurses perform such tireless work to assure Oklahomans are taken care off both in and out of our health care facilities,” Fetgatter said. “It’s an honor to be recognized for my work in trying to improve the lives and working conditions of those who give back to each one of us, while also ensuring Oklahomans have access to quality and affordable healthcare.”
Fetgatter was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 2016 to represent House District 16, which includes parts of Muskogee, Okmulgee and Tulsa counties. He currently serves as Tribal and External Affairs Leader in the House. He’s also a business owner.
