Some important locations of the Reformation include Wittenberg (where Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses), Geneva (where John Calvin established his Protestant movement), and Augsburg (site of the Augsburg Confession, a key Protestant statement of faith).
Martin Luther was known for the Protestant reformation. Born in Germany, he questioned some of the teachings of Roman Catholicism, which gave rise to the Protestant faith or tradition.
Some positive effects of the Protestant Reformation include the promotion of literacy and education as the Bible was translated into local languages, the challenge to the dominant authority of the Catholic Church led to greater religious freedom and diversity, and the emphasis on individual interpretation of scripture led to a greater sense of personal responsibility in matters of faith.

First off, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . Secondly, Martin Luther never started a movement to reform the Catholic Church, Martin Luther LEFT the Catholic Church to start his own Church. Which is a completely different thing. That is commonly mislabeled as the protestant reformation, Catholics refer to it as the protestant revolt.
Missionaries brought Catholic beliefs to Native Americans.
If by 'healthy' you mean 'good', than no, the protestant reformation was not good for the church. In fact, the church despised any protestants and the entire protestant reformation altogether. However, the Reformation did cause the Church to look deeply at itself and make some serious reforms to clean up corruption that had crept into all levels of the Church. That was good as Satan is always working from within and without to destroy the Church. Every now and then the Church needs to do some housekeeping to keep the Evil One at bay.

Primarily Martin Luther, although some experts say that it was John Calvin.
