CHARLOTTE. N.C. — Novant Health and Hornets’ owner Michael Jordan have partnered to bring another clinic to Charlotte, this time in the North End community. The new clinic will offer primary care including behavioral health and social support services.
It is located on Statesville Avenue.
Around this time last year, the first Novant Health Michael Jordan Family center welcomed patients in west Charlotte.
Jordan made a $7 million donation in 2017 that helped fund both clinics.

“We are thrilled the North End community of Charlotte will have access to the same comprehensive care that is transforming lives at the Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic in west Charlotte,” said Carl Armato, CEO and president of Novant Health.
In its first year, the clinic on Freedom Drive has seen more than 3,000 patients, including more than 450 children.
“The impact of the first clinic has been measurable and if COVID-19 has taught us anything, it is the importance of having accessible, safe and quality care in communities that need it most. Michael Jordan’s commitment to improving the health of our communities, and society, is deep-rooted. We’re so grateful to be his partner in bringing care and resources to those who would otherwise be without.”
In April, the clinic on Freedom Drive transitioned into a respiratory assessment center to meet the communities' needs in response to COVID-19. More than 14,000 COVID-19 tests were administered.
“When we came together to mark the first clinic’s opening last fall, no one could have predicted we would be facing a global pandemic just five months later,” said Jordan. “I’m so proud of the positive impact our clinic has had on the community so far, especially during COVID-19. Our second clinic will provide critical services to improve the health and lives of more Charlotteans, which is so important to me and to Novant Health.”
The Novant Health Medical Jordan Family Clinic is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
