The most recent clinic, located in Wilmington, North Carolina, was made feasible by a $10 million donation from Michael Jordan. The Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic is the third such facility that Jordan and his mother, Deloris Jordan, have opened in North Carolina:
“Michael Jordan opened a third clinic in Wilmington, NC, to serve uninsured and underinsured residents

KD commended Jordan and his mother in the following X post after seeing a video of Jordan speaking prior to the clinic’s opening: “2 goats who impacted the world. Much Love to the Jordans and everything they do!”
In addition to the new Wilmington location, which guarantees that even more individuals in need can receive assistance throughout the state, the other two Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinics are situated in Charlotte.
Jordan is considered the best basketball player of all time, having earned five NBA MVP titles, six NBA Finals MVP awards, and six NBA championships during his legendary Chicago Bulls career.
He became the first retired NBA player to become a millionaire by leveraging his success and superstar status on the floor to excellence off the court.
That offered Jordan the opportunity to assist the less fortunate in addition to enabling him to temporarily become the owner of the Charlotte Hornets.
Similar to Jordan, Durant is certain to become one of the all-time greats and will surely be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
KD has played in 16 NBA seasons for the Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, Brooklyn Nets, and Suns. He has won four scoring titles, two NBA championships, two NBA Finals MVP awards, and one NBA MVP award. KD is a 14-time All-Star.
He averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.0 assists this season in Phoenix, demonstrating his continued excellent play.
Like Jordan, Durant is philanthropic in his own right. He founded the Durant Family Foundation in 2013 to help at-risk youngsters, and he may continue to grow it even after his playing career is done.
