One year after the first Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic opened its doors in Charlotte, North Carolina, the basketball great and his partner Novant Health have opened a second facility.
With the same goal of providing vital access to primary and preventive care to individuals who are uninsured or underinsured, the new clinic will serve the North End community.
Like with the original medical clinic in west Charlotte, which was built with a generous $7 million grant from Michael Jordan, the new one also offers behavioral health and social support services—addressing health equity gaps further exacerbated by COVID-19.
“Michael Jordan’s commitment to improving the health of our communities, and society, is deep-rooted,” said Carl Armato, CEO and president of Novant Health.
“The impact of the first clinic has been measurable and if COVID-19 has taught us anything, it is the importance of having accessible, safe, and quality care in communities that need it most,” he added.
