temporary absences, and emergency situations. There is a nationwide nursing and healthcare staff
shortage, and in spite of persistent efforts to recruit nurses and other healthcare staff, the Department has

heavily on the registry services in order to provide quality care for patients.
Under Contract #26-592 the Contractor will provide temporary Registered Dental Assistant services at
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, during staff absences and
vacancies, through January 31, 2008.
