Michael Jordan returned to Wilmington in early May to cut the ribbon on the first of two medical clinics.

Novant Health announced in early 2021 that the six-time NBA champion had donated $10 million to help open two Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinics in New Hanover County.

The first clinic, at the corner of 15th and Greenfield streets, opened in April, while site work has started on the second medical clinic near the corner of Princess Place Drive and North 30th Street.

“We did it in Charlotte, and now we’re going to do it in Wilmington, which makes it even more special because this is home; this is where I came from,” Jordan said about the family clinics. “No matter how you see Michael Jordan, this is where I started.”
