LeBron James To Open Multimillion-Dollar ‘HealthQuarters’ In His Hometown
LeBron James plans to open a multi-million dollar medical facility in Akron, Ohio, where he hails from. The I Promise HealthQuarters was first announced by his LeBron James Family Foundation.
Set to open next year in 2023, the health center will offer an array of services, including offerings in medical, dental, optometry, and mental health. Students from James’ I Promise School, and the local community will be able to receive treatments and services from there.
There will also be a pharmacy and lab research center on the premises. The pharmacy will be paired with local medical services from AxessPointe, Coleman Health Services, and the Peg’s Foundation, where it aims to bring down the costs of medication and make it more accessible for those in need.

The center will be situated a short walk from his I Promise School, which opened in 2018 with the aim of helping at-risk students and families. Now, as he furthers his philanthropy, James will embark on bringing medical aid to his community.
James wishes to give back to and assist those in need in his community, and his medical center follows in the footsteps of Michael Jordan, who opened three clinics in North Carolina.
