At Sage, we believe that the technology bringing better outcomes across the continuum of care work hand in hand with strong clinical leadership. Today, we’re proud to celebrate one of our own.
Martine Dorgely, Head of Clinical at Sage, has been named a 2026 Future Leader in Skilled Nursing by WTWH Healthcare, the publisher of Skilled Nursing News. This national recognition honors emerging leaders who are shaping the future of post-acute care through innovation, impact, and a deep commitment to residents and care teams.
Martine’s leadership reflects exactly what this award represents.
In her role at Sage, Martine works at the intersection of clinical insight and data-driven decision-making, helping care teams better understand resident needs, staff engagement, and care delivery patterns across all levels of acuity. Her work supports communities in delivering more personalized, efficient, and proactive care, especially within complex environments like CCRCs, where coordination across the continuum is essential.
Here's what Martine had to say about this honor:
Skilled nursing is arguably where the clinical stakes are highest and the resources are thinnest. That tension is what drew me to this work—the belief that technology, when it’s built with clinical reality in mind, can genuinely change what’s possible for residents and care teams. I started my career in skilled nursing, so this recognition is especially meaningful. I’m proud to be at the forefront of that work, alongside other incredible leaders pushing this industry forward.
The Future Leaders program recognizes individuals who are not only excelling today, but actively redefining what the future of skilled nursing looks like. Martine’s work embodies that forward-looking approach; bringing together clinical expertise and technology to surface insights that drive better care planning, stronger staff performance, and improved resident outcomes.
Ellen Johnston, co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Sage, added:
Martine represents the kind of clinical leadership that the industry needs right now. She understands that the future of care depends on connecting data with real-world clinical decision-making, and she brings that to life every day in her work with our partners.
As part of the Future Leaders Class of 2026, Martine will be featured by Skilled Nursing News and recognized among a cohort of leaders advancing the industry in meaningful ways.
