Dr. SarahBeth Hartlage has taken the city of Louisville by storm over the last year. Trained as an anesthesiologist, she now works in public health and has become known as “the vaccine lady,” most recently leading the LouVax site at Broadbent Arena. When she’s not busy strategizing vaccine distribution, she’s playing princesses with her daughter Camille or attending Alabama football games with her husband Todd.
