Michael Jordan teared up while speaking at the opening of his namesake health clinic in North Carolina.

The 56-year-old basketball legend donated $7 million to fund the Novant Health Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic in his hometown of Charlotte, the Daily Mail reported. The clinic, which opened Thursday, guarantees health care for the uninsured.

“This is a very emotional thing for me to be able to give back to a community that has supported me over the years,” Jordan said.

Jordan is a longtime resident of Charlotte and played basketball at the University of North Carolina before going on to the Chicago Bulls.

A press release for the center said it wants to “address health equity gaps and social determinants of health in our communities” and aims to improve healthcare access in “an area identified as having high priority public health concerns by a Health Needs Assessment.”
