(CNN) NBA legend Michael Jordan is donating $10 million to open two new medical clinics in his hometown of Wilmington, North Carolina. The clinics, slated to open in 2022, will serve the uninsured or underinsured residents of New Hanover County, according to a news release from Novant Health, a regional health care system"Everyone should have access to quality health care, no matter where they live, or whether or not they have insurance." This is not the first time Jordan, who owns the Charlotte Hornets, has stepped up to help his community. In 2017, Jordan committed $7 million to Novant Health to open two clinics in Charlotte. The donation came with a pledge to provide resources to communities with little or no health care.
