A Legacy of Care

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko’s journey reflected a lifelong commitment to excellence. A summa cum laude Chemistry graduate of Hofstra University, he earned his M.D. from SUNY Buffalo in 2000 and completed his family medicine residency in 2004. He became a trusted physician and community pillar in New York’s Hudson Valley, also serving as a medical adviser to the Kiryas Joel volunteer ambulance corps.

A Life of Purpose

Dr. Zelenko lived by an unwavering belief in truth and service, choosing to speak out boldly and care selflessly for others during one of the world’s most challenging times. His courage, conviction, and moral clarity left a lasting mark on countless lives. He passed away on June 30, 2022, after a courageous battle with cancer, leaving behind a legacy defined by compassion, integrity, and an enduring devotion to humanity.

The Zelenko Protocol

In the early stages of the COVID‑19 pandemic, Dr. Zelenko developed what became known as the Zelenko Protocol, an early outpatient treatment strategy for high-risk patients that combined hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin, aimed at supporting the body’s response when applied soon after symptoms began. Dr. Zelenko and his team were among the first in the United States to treat COVID‑19 patients outside of the hospital setting, focusing on early intervention and prevention of disease progression.

Nominated for The Nobel Peace Prize

Dr. Zelenko gained global attention early 
in the COVID-19 pandemic for his proactive treatment approach, earning both acclaim and controversy. His efforts to share his findings 
and challenge conventional thinking led to international recognition, including being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, a testament to the global impact of his work and his commitment to advancing health on behalf of humanity.
