Boston Celtics Honor Milton Father-Son As 'Heroes Among Us'

MILTON, MA — The NBA season may be on hold due to the coronavirus health crisis. But the Boston Celtics are still honoring New England residents making a difference in the fight against the virus during their "Heroes Among Us" campaign.

The Celtics this week honored Dr. Gregg Miller, a radiologist at the Boston Medical Center's Radiology Department, and his son, Julian, for their commitment to volunteering to help the community during the pandemic.

Dr. Miller is a radiologist who has worked long hours with daily medical services at the Boston Convention Center's 1,000-bed emergency relief site. Julian, a senior at Xaverian Brothers High School of Westwood, decided to help out the operation as part of his Christian Senior Service project.

Julian Miller has been preparing the beds at the convention center for patients. He helped assemble 200 of the 1,000 beds at the Boston Convention Center. Since the state's high schools shifted to remote learning in early April, Julian Miller has been working 12 hours a day many days helping with personal protective equipment with the Boston Medical Center.

Since its establishment in 1997 by the Boston Celtics, The Heroes Among Us program has recognized outstanding individuals who have made exceptional and lasting contributions to their communities. The award is usually presented at every Celtics home game and pays tribute to the heroic achievements of these outstanding citizens.
