A billionaire with MJ Enterprises and a philanthropist with the Magic Johnson Foundation. The 5x NBA champion has truly mastered the concept of giving back to society. In fact, Magic has been a savior of sorts for the members of minority ethnic communities. And at a recent healthcare-based summit, he got to open up on the cause he deeply believes in.

Taking to his official account on X, the LA Lakers icon shared the details of the event. “I’m always blown away being in rooms with highly intelligent people, and today I had the opportunity to engage with doctors from around the country at the 2024 HPN Primary Care Physician Summit,”! read the post by Magic Johnson. “It was an honor to speak to them about the work I do in black and brown communities across the nation and learn about the ways they help save lives,” added the post.

He was thankful for being given such an opportunity. “I want to thank them for their dedication to their craft and helping us live long and healthy lives! A big thank you to Dr. Richard Merkin, Heritage Provider Network CEO and President, for having me today!” the 64-year-old billionaire-philanthropist posted.

Notably, the official website of Heritage Provider Network describes HPN as “a limited Knox-Keene licensed organization in California that provides affordable quality care to its members.” The website also states the motive to start the HPN was to facilitate a broader range of medical care. And also to establish a powerful provider network. And Magic Johnson has expressed his gratitude for the work being done by the HPN.

What the basketball icon has done not just for society but the minorities is commendable, to say the least. He has used his knowledge and resources to make sure people are taken care of.

Magic Johnson’s contribution to the members of the black and brown community

The 5x NBA champion’s Magic Johnson Foundation (MJF) is one of the most recognized philanthropic organizations. The MJF has massively contributed towards addressing issues related to the education, health, and social needs of ethnically diverse communities. Notably, the NBA legend founded MJF after his diagnosis of HIV back in 1991. So it primarily focuses on spreading awareness and education to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Apart from this, Magic Johnson also founded MJ Enterprises in 1987. The company focuses on bringing in employment opportunities for the members of minority communities. It is worth mentioning that MJ Enterprises focuses on the expansion of movie theaters, restaurants, fitness centers, and other similar establishments to areas inhabited by minority communities.
