"If Dr. Oz is about protecting and preserving Medicare and Medicaid, I'm voting for the dude," Fetterman tweeted.
Fetterman defeated Oz, a Republican, in Pennsylvania's 2022 U.S. Senate race.
"America is facing a Healthcare Crisis, and there may be no Physician more qualified and capable than Dr. Oz to Make America Healthy Again," Trump said in a statement. "Dr. Oz will work closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake."
Oz said in a post on X that he is "honored" by Trump's nomination.
"I look forward to serving my country to Make America Healthy Again under the leadership of HHS Secretary @RobertKennedyJr," he noted.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., congratulated Oz, calling him an "excellent fit" for the job.
"His medical background as a cardiothoracic surgeon and public health advocate makes him an excellent fit for this position," Paul said in a tweet.
