Locum tenens dentist demonstrates passion for volunteering in 6th annual campaign
PEABODY, Mass. — Barton Associates, a leading locum tenens staffing company in the United States with nine offices nationwide, announced that Dr. Christine Rizkalla, DMD, has won its sixth annual Locum Heroes campaign. Each year, the contest recognizes one locum tenens provider who has exemplified a passion for providing quality healthcare to patients and giving back to people in need.
Rizkalla, a dentist who splits her time between Boca Raton, Florida; Colts Neck, New Jersey; and Hillsborough, New Jersey; displayed a commitment to providing quality medical care to patients as a locum tenens provider. She also illustrated a clear enthusiasm for volunteering at home and abroad, having spent her free time providing critical dental services to people in Florida, Namibia, Kenya, Egypt, and the Philippines.
“It’s very humbling—I don’t see myself as a hero,” Rizkalla said about being named Barton’s 2024 Locum Hero. “As a healthcare professional, I believe that giving back to others is my duty. I hope this award will help raise awareness for the charities I support and my fellow volunteers.”
