Michael Jordan opens medical clinic for low-income families in Charlotte

Friday, October 18, 2019
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina -- Basketball legend Michael Jordan is proving he's a superstar both on and off the court after making a major investment to serve families in need.

A $7 million donation he made in 2017 came to fruition Thursday with the opening of a new health clinic in West Charlotte, WSOC reports.

Jordan partnered with Novant Health to open the 7,400-square-foot clinic. The clinic will focus on physical, dental and behavioral health.

"I know where it all began. It begins here," Jordan said.

"As you can see, it's a very emotional thing for me to be able to give back to a community that's supported me over the years," he said.

If patients don't have insurance or can't pay for care, the clinic will connect them with programs to make sure they are covered.

Jordan believes the clinic planted the roots for a long-term partnership.



"Even if I'm not around, I think we're setting the blueprint that this is going to outlive us all," he said.
