Michael Jordan is donating $ 10 MILLION to open 2 new health clinics near his hometown, Wilmington, North Carolina … specifically to help people in need.
The NBA legend is working with Novant Health – a nonprofit health group with hospitals and medical centers across NC.
Novant says the MJ donation will bring “comprehensive primary care, including behavioral health and social support services, to the most vulnerable communities in the area”.
The two Jordan-funded clinics are scheduled to open in early 2022 – and both centers will offer “much-needed services for those who are uninsured or underinsured.”
Jordan – who has already donated $ 7 million to open 2 centers in 2017 – says he is extremely proud to “bring better access to essential medical services in my hometown”.
“Everyone must have access to quality healthcare, no matter where they live, or whether or not they have insurance. Wilmington holds a special place in my heart and it is truly gratifying to be able to give back to the community that has supported me throughout my life.”
Novant says that the 2 clinics that the MJ opened in 2017 have served more than 4,500 patients, in addition to providing a critical response to COVID-19.
The sites also administered about 1,000 COVID-19 vaccines – “with plans to further increase vaccination efforts as supply increases.”
