GBARNGA, BONG COUNTY — The Light House Assembly of God Church in Gbarnga was filled with warm applause and admiration on Sunday, as worshippers and local leaders gathered to honor a man whose quiet leadership has helped revitalize one of Bong County’s most essential health institutions.
At the center of the celebration was Mr. Enoch Morris, Administrator of the government-run C.B. Dunbar Hospital. Known for his humility and dedication, Morris stood before a supportive crowd as church leaders recognized him for what they described as exceptional and selfless service to the county and its people.
The acknowledgment came in the form of a formal certificate, read by Deacon Thomas K. Cisco, who highlighted Morris’s contributions: “This certificate is awarded to Mr. Enoch Morris, Administrator of C.B. Dunbar Hospital, for his leadership roles, commitment of service to humanity, and enhancing health care delivery system at the institution.” The church’s Senior Pastor, Rev. John S. Karmo, presented the honor.
In his response, Morris thanked the church and emphasized that the recognition belongs to the entire team at the hospital. He said the award served as a reminder to remain dedicated, focused, and determined to continue improving services for Bong County residents.
Leadership Through Service
Colleagues of Morris were not surprised by the church’s gesture. His leadership, they say, isn’t confined to meetings or formal settings. He’s often seen actively moving through the hospital, checking on patients, speaking with staff, and observing conditions firsthand—not to supervise, but to understand what’s needed and respond.
“He’s part of the daily flow of the hospital,” said one nurse who has worked with him over the years. “If something isn’t right, he’s not above addressing it himself.”
Under his watch, C.B. Dunbar has seen gradual yet noticeable improvements. What was once seen as a disorganized and unsanitary facility is now being praised for its cleanliness, coordination, and patient-centered care. Many who visit for the first time comment on the difference.
Not the End—Just the Beginning
Church leaders at the event clarified that the honor was not given because of personal relationships, but because of visible, meaningful change. Whether it’s improved patient treatment or the hospital’s renewed efficiency, Morris’s leadership has been a driving force.
For Morris, the recognition is a signal to keep going.
“When people acknowledge your work, it’s not time to relax,” he said. “It means they believe in what you’re doing and hope for even greater things.”
He also used the moment to call on other public servants to take their roles seriously, reminding them that they, too, are members of the communities they serve.
“One day, we or our family members may be patients here,” he noted. “So we must ensure that our systems are built to serve everyone with fairness and care.”
Progress Without a Spotlight
Those who work with Morris often describe him as a steady reformer—someone who leads not with words, but through consistent action. His leadership has inspired a culture of shared responsibility at the hospital, encouraging each team member to take pride in their work.
“He motivates us by doing the work with us,” said one hospital staff member. “That’s why we all take ownership of what happens here.”
As Bong County continues to face health care challenges, the tribute to Enoch Morris is a reminder that progress doesn’t always come loudly. Sometimes, it unfolds slowly—with compassion, consistency, and a deep commitment to serving others.
