This year, MCN Health celebrated Jennifer Williams for an exceptional 40 years of service. Jennifer began her career in 1984 as a Staff Nurse at the Medical Center and went on to serve as an Infection Control Nurse, Charge Nurse, RN Float Pool nurse, and RN House Supervisor. Known for her steady leadership and deep commitment to both patients and colleagues, Jennifer retired from full-time work in June 2025 but continues to support the department through the RN Float Pool.

The ceremony also honored the memory and service of Bradah Littlefield, who served the Muscogee Nation for 19 years beginning in 2006. Bradah played a key role in opening the Koweta Clinic, served as Chief Nursing Officer, and later transitioned into Public Health Nursing, where her passion for community outreach and advocacy flourished. Her dedication to events such as the annual Pink Party and her efforts to help preserve hospital services in Okemah left a lasting mark on MCN Health. A plaque honoring her service was presented to her family.
