February often evokes thoughts of Valentine’s Day, hearts, and sweet treats—a month filled with love. But it’s also a perfect time to reflect on something even more vital: your heart health and the well-being of your loved ones. This month, we focus on strokes and cardiovascular health, an issue that touches so many lives.
In this spirit, we are honored to feature the inspiring story of Jim and Judy Foudy, the driving force behind the Stroke Survivors and Caregiver Support Group at Sun City Palm Desert. After suffering a stroke that left him partially paralyzed, Jim refused to let any challenges define him. Fueled by determination and a desire to regain purpose, he founded a support group to connect, inspire, and uplift others navigating similar journeys. Their story is one of resilience, hope, and community. You can find their feature on pages 26 and 28.
The Sun City Insider is more than a magazine—it’s a platform for connection and a resource for everyone who calls the Del Webb communities home. Recently, we had the pleasure of hearing from Manny Ortiz and his wife Judy, who shared their passion for innovative technology and their commitment to making a positive impact. They’re especially focused on helping Sun City residents breathe easier—literally—with cleaner air solutions for their homes. Discover more about their mission on page 22.
As always, these pages are brimming with exciting entertainment and dining options, real estate, healthy living articles, and so much more.
Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives, and this incredible community!
Regards and Happy Reading!
