Misty Zelk, M.D.

Medical Director; Best Defense Foundation

I am an Internist and currently the Medical Director for Spring Lake Village in Santa Rosa. I’m also a veteran of the Army National Guard and Air Force for a total of 23 years. My combat tours included Baghdad and Balad, both in Iraq. I’ve lived in Sebastopol since 2010 and proud to call it home. The Best Defense Foundation is a non-profit organization that returns veterans to their battlefields to help find resolution. Currently, we are conducting programs with WWII veterans to Normandy, Iwo Jima, Bastogne and The Netherlands. We have been working on a Vietnam program and hope to start within the next year. My presentation will focus on our return to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
