About the Provider
Jurg W. J. Oggenfuss, APRN, FNP-BC, ANP-BC
My name is Jurg (pronounced “Yerg”). I’m a graduate of Marquette University at Milwaukee, WI. I received additional training in HIV care early in my career and have been focused on working with people living with HIV ever since. I have been in practice for 14 years and want to continue to care for my community by providing a safe and welcoming environment.

What is an APRN?
APRN stands for Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. You may have also heard the term Nurse Practitioner. APRN and Nurse Practitioner are the same thing. A nurse practitioner can serve as your primary care provider (PCP). Our scope of practice is similar to that of a doctor, but our training and education are different. In the State of Connecticut, APRNs can diagnose, prescribe, and refer to specialists. Most APRNs have a specialty. Mine is family medicine, with particular focus on primary care, Queer health, gender affirming care, and HIV care.
Do you have to call me doctor?
