From Survivor to Supporter: Jay Toland’s Impact

When it comes to bringing hope to patients in the darkest of times, few embody the HeartBrothers mission like Jay Toland. A heart transplant survivor himself, Jay has turned his own journey into a lifeline for others. Since joining Team HeartBrothers, Jay has visited more than 500 patients across hospitals and transplant centers, offering not just encouragement but real-life proof that there is life after transplant.

Jay understands the fears and questions patients face because he’s lived them. That shared experience allows him to connect in a way that few others can. Whether it’s sitting quietly at a bedside, answering tough questions, or simply being a steady presence, Jay shows patients and families that they are not alone.

His impact goes beyond numbers. Each visit is a story of comfort, reassurance, and hope—and a reminder that the HeartBrothers community is walking with patients every step of the way.

On behalf of the HeartBrothers Foundation, we thank you, Jay, for this amazing achievement and the countless lives you’ve touched.
