Here’s an excerpt from the report:

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio — Cardiologist Dr. Sathish Magge went on a mission trip to Doddamagge, India where he provided free healthcare to 130 people and three months of free prescriptions for medications.

Magge, of Steubenville, has been doing these mission trips for more than 10 years, thanks to a trust funded by his family in memory of his father in both his parents’ name.

“In 2007, my father passed away,” Magge said. “After that, my uncle created a trust in my parents’ name basically for people who don’t have anything. So, in that motto, I thought, I have to do something. God has given us everything. There are people who have nothing.”
