The Medical Missionaries of Mary are a religious institute of the Catholic Church dedicated to providing health care to the underdeveloped regions of the world. They follow a Benedictine spirituality, with its focus on life in community, shared prayer and hospitality.

Founded in Ireland in 1937 by Mother Mary Martin, they were originally dedicated to serve the missions in Africa. Today they serve in both North and South America as well.[1]
