With $15M donation, Phil and Jennie Gaglardi Foundation claims name of Royal Inland Hospital patient care tower
KAMLOOPS — When the first phase of the new Patient Care Tower officially opens in July, on it will be the names of two people who cared deeply about the Kamloops community.
It will be named the Phil & Jennie Gaglardi Tower after their foundation donated $15 million towards the building.
“We just could not imagine not following through on our committment that we gave in 2019,” said Andrea Gaglardi, a granddaughter who’s part of the Phil & Jennie Gaglardi Foundation. “This was something we had to do, and partly because that’s what our grandparents would’ve done and partly because it was the right thing to do.
