My Pillars of Strength

(A Tribute to My Wife and Children)

I dedicate this space to the most important people in my life—my beloved wife, Mrs. Adela Miantona Quoi, and our children: Burline, Sametta, Salehsius, Samford, D. Marvin Hoff, Saadiah, Princess, and Dorothy Miantona.

Their unwavering love, patience, and encouragement have been the foundation of my journey—from surviving the Liberian civil war to becoming a doctor, author, and global health advocate.

Every milestone I’ve achieved is a reflection of their strength and support. This platform is not just mine—it belongs to us all.

Dr. Quoi is a dedicated public health and mental health professional with over two decades of experience in leadership, advocacy, and frontline service across Liberia and the United States.

He is especially committed to serving vulnerable populations, including older adults, persons with disabilities, and individuals with complex behavioral health needs.
