On April 7, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-306-14 with Per Diem Staffing Systems, Inc., for the period from February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010, for the provision of temporary respiratory therapists services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers.
