Catholic Doctor of the Year
We are happy to announce the 2026 Catholic Doctor of the Year, Dr. Dan Meges.
Dr. Dan and Mrs. Darlene Meges are parishioners at St. Albert the Great in the Diocese of Cleveland.
The annual award is given in recognition of the efforts of a doctor who has responded to Christ’s call to “Heal the Sick” as a member of our Catholic faith community and in doing so has made a World of Difference.
Today, Catholic doctors face many challenges as they strive to meet the needs of their patients in the context of their own faith and calling. Many, like Dr. Meges, go well beyond the role and responsibilities of their profession, offering care that truly reflects the love of God. This is obvious in his own practice, volunteering both in Cleveland and mission work that has included Mexico, Peru and El Salvidor.
Mission Doctors Association is honored to present this award to Dr. Meges whose exemplary actions bear witness to the highest values of the Catholic doctor.
This honoree will be recognized at the annual Archdiocese of Los Angeles Mass Celebrating Catholic Healthcare Professionals.
Additional information on this honoree will be available here soon.
