Funeral of Mr. Joseph Gbozee

Winifred J. Harley College of Health Sciences suffered a great loss at the death of Mr. Joseph Gbozee, instructor and administrator, at 58 years old. He had a long career as a professional nurse after graduating from ‘Winifred’ in 1978. During his life, he was a staff nurse, a clinic supervisor, instructor, and worked with the Liberian Nursing and Midwifery Board. He had great influence on those who came in contact with him because of his knowledge, professionalism, caring, and sense of humor. When I first came to Liberia and to the nursing school, he was a great help to me. I had to learn about…everything! – the country, the culture, nursing, and the United Methodist University of which ‘Winifred’ is a part. He died of prostate cancer- something which would have been avoidable in the US with the early detection test. So, men, don’t delay your PSA screening. Others are not so lucky to have the option.
