Following work as a United Nations Development Programme consultant in the Gobi Desert, Carey began documenting the lives of nomadic herders and delivering medical supplies to rural hospitals in the Gobi.〔(Filming the Life of Gobi women ), ''Friends Journal'', Aug 2007.

In addition to documenting traditional health practices, Nomadicare provides education and vitamins and arranges for herders to be seen by volunteer health care providers. It also delivers diagnostic equipment to rural hospitals and coordinates professional training opportunities for Mongolian health care providers. The most recent set of goals for the organization are:〔Nomadicare press release, 2012-04-23.〕 * "To make the Nomadicare Sum (Rural) Healthcare Model available to every remote area of Mongolia by forming coalitions with NGOs and the Mongolian Ministry of Health." * "To offer a model for alcohol treatment that uses shamanism in conjunction with Western methods." * "To continue editing film footage on the lives of Mongolia’s nomadic herder populations to create movies for archival and educational purposes." Nomadicare has also provided assistance with independent projects that support Mongolians or promote education about traditional nomadic life and health care.〔(DayarMongol ).
