Michael Jordan, NBA legend and successful businessman, has made a generous donation of $10 million to a regional medical center in North Carolina. The announcement, made on Tuesday, will benefit Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington. In recognition of this gesture, the medical center will name its neuroscience institute in honor of Deloris Jordan, Michael’s mother.
Jordan’s donation primarily aims to support his mother’s work in the field of health and well-being. This includes improving access to specialists, technology, and quality medical care for patients facing conditions such as strokes, spinal problems, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurological diseases. Deloris Jordan, founder and president of the James R. Jordan Foundation and its namesake international foundation, has led programs in the United States and Africa. She has expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the provision of high-quality medical care for more people in North Carolina. The dedication ceremony will take place in early 2026 at Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center.My mother taught me the importance of compassion and community, and I can’t think of a better way to honor her than by helping to ensure that those in need can get the most advanced neurological care available.
