Michael Jordan celebrated the opening of a new health clinic in his hometown of Wilmington, North Carolina and PEOPLE has an exclusive photo of the basketball legend at the event. Jordan, 61, and Novant Health teamed up to open a third clinic, the Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic on Greenfield St. in Wilmington, to bring "much-needed comprehensive primary care services," according to a release. The clinic will include medical opportunities for "individuals who are uninsured or underinsured," a cause close to the former NBA star's heart. "Everyone is worthy of access to quality health care, no matter where you live or if you have insurance," Jordan said in a release, adding that he is "truly inspired by the many powerful stories of people who are now thriving thanks to the support of our Charlotte medical clinics." Jordan, whose $10 million donation to Novant Health allowed for two additional Jordan Family Medicals Clinics to be built in Charlotte, added, "I am confident Novant Health's new clinic will positively impact individuals and families throughout Wilmington," and said he's "profoundly grateful to help make this day happen for my hometown."
