The Charlotte Hornets owner and NBA legend Michael Jordan will help start up two medical clinics in poor and troubled areas of Charlotte, NC by donating $7 million.
The Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Clinics are expected to open in 2020, with the clinics estimating to help 35,000 children and adults who don’t currently have access to primary care.
“Michael really wanted to do something personally, he and his family, in the North Carolina area, separate from the work we’ve done with the Hornets,” spokeswoman Estee Portnoy said.
