It was always my dream to combine games/VR technology with medicine, helping people. What's a good way to get started? I mean finding people, organizations or hospitals, specialists to work with?

You'll need a lot of initiative. I contacted the general secretary of the largest interest group in Norway directly. Got the chance to do a 2min pitch and he liked it.

I was somewhat lucky that got his number from a tech lead at the company - he told me to go for it.

After that we approached the Dam Foundation for funding application and approached the largest specialist hospital in Norway. They liked our idea, and we developed the application together. It got declined the first time and we applied a second time in which it was accepted. :)

I don't think there is any set way to do this, but getting powerful players in on your idea early is very important.
