The hearts behind our mission.

We’re a dedicated team working together to remove transportation barriers for cancer patients across metro Atlanta. From planning, coordination, partnerships and support, every role is centered around one goal: Helping patients get to the care they need, without added stress or uncertainty.

Matt Zlotnick

Founder

Matt founded The Healing Train to ensure no cancer patient misses treatment because of transportation barriers.

After seeing his own father face the challenges of getting to and from care, he was inspired to take action. Today, his vision continues to guide the mission, making rides possible and easing the burden for patients and their families during a difficult time.
