BUILDING A Healthier COMMUNITY

Canek is committed to improving health outcomes and increasing access to care for all Alexandrians. He knows firsthand the health needs and challenges many Alexandria families face.

On City Council, Canek fought to prioritize multilingual communication for Alexandria’s residents and businesses, and successfully pushed for targeted communication to vulnerable populations in the city. He knows health includes physical, emotional, and  environmental well-being. That’s why Canek has been a constant supporter of access to open and green space, infrastructure to support healthier living, and efforts to mitigate our contribution to climate change.

Informed by his extensive public health experience, Canek consistently acts on his belief that healthcare is a human right and that it is our shared responsibility to support efforts that eliminate health inequities. From his extensive experience advocating for healthcare access as a professional in the health industry, to his service on numerous public health boards and as a longtime Alexandria Medical Reserve Corps volunteer, Canek combines the knowledge he has gained serving vulnerable populations in the school system and across North Virginia to bring an invaluable perspective to City Council that continues to improve health outcomes and save lives.
