He Always Goes The Extra Mile: Milford Hero

MILFORD, CT — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Felicia North who nominated Robert A. Fiore.

Name: Robert A. Fiore

Hometown: Milford

Hero's job: Founder and President of the Connecticut Epilepsy Advocate (a non-profit organization that assists those with Epilepsy)

Relationship to nominee: Through the Connecticut Epilepsy Advocate

Reason for recognition:"Bob" personally expends endless time and energy to work with medical providers and pharmaceutical companies on behalf of those requiring assistance, regardless of their circumstances or background.

One thing to know: His dedication and tenacity to resolving issues goes the extra mile and is far more than I've experienced with other similar organizations. His concern is always first and foremost to arrive at a satisfactory outcome for those requiring his services.
