and replaces them with restocked ones. This cycle is repeated 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

possible discounts from suppliers. By purchasing from Novation vendors CCRMC
is assured of receiving the best pricing available.

If this purchase order is not approved, necessary medical supplies and equipment would not be available for patients
requiring medical services at CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers.
