Pharmacy Residency Leadership Team

Sage Voglewede
Sage Voglewede
Program Director

After residency, Sage joined Altru in 2021 as an inpatient pharmacist. He moved into the pharmacy's clinical coordinator role in 2023 and will serve as the residency program director. 

During his free time he enjoys spending time with family, connecting with friends, playing tennis, and reading a good book. One of his favorite travel activities is exploring and hiking in the national parks.

He is excited to give back to the profession with another opportunity for motivated pharmacists to build upon their degree. He plans for the residents to graduate with not only greater knowledge and skills, but also the understanding that they can make a difference.
