Michael Jordan surprises former teacher in hospice care with phone call
Posted May 17, 2026
An elderly woman in Wilmington is checking off a special bucket-list wish. Ms. Etta is a hospice patient at Lower Cape Fear LifeCare, but many years ago she was a high school teacher. She often talks about her former students, but there was one name that kept coming up: Michael Jordan. The nurses recently helped Jordan and Ms. Etta connect on FaceTime.
