Michael Jordan is donating $7 million towards the building of medical clinics in poor Charlotte neighborhoods.
The Hornets owner’s personal gift will fund Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Clinics in the north and northwest of Charlotte. One will be located at 3149 and 3153 Freedom Drive; the other will be in the Brightwalk development on Statesville Avenue.
The clinics will reportedly target a crescent-shaped region which is home to the most condensed poverty. Michael’s spokeswoman, Estee Portnoy, said the NBA legend has been in talks about the clinics with the Hornets’ official care provider for 16 months because he wanted to help poor Charlotte communities.

The clinics openings are projected for late 2020.
