“Michael Jordan teared up Thursday in Charlotte as he spoke about his $7.2 million donation for two Novant Health clinics — the latest local philanthropic gift from the Hornets owner and NBA legend.”
“The Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Clinic on Freedom Drive, and a second facility expected to open on Statesville Avenue, are expected to serve at least 35,000 children and adults over the next five years. The clinic provides both primary health care services as well as access to social workers, behavioral health experts, oral health practitioners, and physical therapy.”
“Jordan’s financial gift to partner with Novant Health is the latest in his philanthropic giving in Charlotte and his home state of North Carolina. The former Tar Heels star has significantly ramped up his charitable giving since he became majority owner of the Hornets in 2010.”
