NBA Star Michael Jordan Opens Health Clinics for People Without Insurance
All season, we're tackling the harsh reality
of our broken healthcare system in money versus medicine.
But here's a positive story that recently made headlines.
Legendary NBA player Michael Jordan
has funded a health clinic in Charlotte, North Carolina
to provide care to those
who have little to no health insurance.
The first clinic opened in October of 2019.
It's the first of two medical clinics in North Carolina
that Michael is opening.
The idea, of course, is to provide primary care access,
preventative care to underprivileged members
of the community.
And I gotta tell you, Michael, give him credit.
Inspired to do this because he realized
how many people weren't getting the care they needed.
And you know he was inspired to create this clinic
because there was a 2014 study that showed
that low-income children in Charlotte
have the worst odds to get out of poverty
when compared to other children from major cities.
So I love that every child deserves a chance,
a chance to be the best version of themselves.
