Tricia Schroffner trained as a family nurse practitioner over 20 years ago but in practice, found herself drawn to the adolescent population. She spent her first 10 years as a Primary Care Provider in a teen clinic in Hartford, Connecticut and then took a role in the 4J School District’s School-Based Health Centers in 2011 in Eugene, Oregon. She currently is the medical provider at the Churchill and North Eugene Health Centers in addition to being the Youth Action Council (YAC) Coordinator. She particularly enjoys being a health partner with her patients during a time of beautiful brain development as young people establish their view of the world and how they fit into it. She also cares about the population health work that the YAC does on campus and beyond, learning how to be health advocates. Outside of work, Tricia has a husband and 3 children. She enjoys reading, traveling, and supporting the passions of her family.
