Rep. Rick West recognizes CNO physician assistant

Oklahoma City Rep. Rick West, R-Heavener, recognized Jessica Hall, a physician assistant from Poteau, with a citation in the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

Hall, a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, has worked for the nation at the Rubin White Health Clinic in Poteau for almost 11 years as a family practice certified physician assistant. She recently completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Oklahoma and her graduate work at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas.

“Physicians assistants plug a lot of holes in our health care system, particularly in rural Oklahoma, and I so appreciate Jessica’s service and her dedication to the people of Oklahoma in her chosen career,” West said. “It was an honor to recognize her in the House Chamber for her contributions to her community and her state.”

Hall served as a page in 2003 for former Rep. Neil Brannon. She was accompanied in the House this week by her mother, Teresa Mode, and sons, Logan and Rylan.
