I can speak for healthcare - setting up a healthcare facility, setting up an immunization drive, learning in the nursing world as a project, and definitely, patient care as a project (see my white paper in the knowledge shelf that is heavily referenced and is available at https://www.projectmanagement.com/articles...t-Perspective).
