What happened
In October 2017, Michael Jordan provided a $7 million gift to Novant Health to open two health clinics in Charlotte. These clinics were intended to serve vulnerable communities, where census data indicated over 100,000 residents were uninsured. By 2023, the clinics reported providing more than 9,000 patient visits.
