Here is one example.
St. John the Baptist Catholic Church from Edmond, OK has a medical mission in Peru. One of the members is Dr. Rick Booth from Christ the King Church in Oklahoma City. Rick is also a deacon candidate for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Here is a note about Rick.
"Dr. Rick Boothe cares for a rare case of Cutaneous Mastocytosis in a two year old girl. As he described the experience later in the evening, we all felt the effect of his care. In children, C.M. is generally a fairly benign condition in which it expresses itself with spots all over the body that cause itching, but it can be scary for a mother if one doesn't know its origins and potential long-term effects. As Dr. Boothe reassured the mother the condition would more than likely run itself out and go away on its own. Though she had been to numerous doctors, no one had ever told her that her child would be able to get better. Upon receiving that news, the mother was so overwhelmed with happiness, she broke down into tears. This moment highlighted our presence here not just in treating the physical symptom, but we are also here to provide mental and spiritual support."
