Martinez Hospital Wins Approval for $3.72 Million Nurse-Call System Upgrade

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, Calif. — October 27, 2026. Contra Costa County supervisors approved a design-build contract not to exceed $3,718,082 with JM Streamline Inc. doing business as Streamline Construction for a nurse-call system upgrade at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, 2500 Alhambra Avenue, Martinez.

Scope and funding

The official October 20 record identifies the project as a hospital technology and construction upgrade funded from the county hospital enterprise fund. Nurse-call systems help patients alert staff and allow healthcare teams to coordinate responses. Planning and installation must take account of operations at an active medical facility.

What the decision does not guarantee

The passed action authorizes the contract; it is not proof that installation is finished, that every patient room already has upgraded equipment, or that an individual health outcome has improved. Ask the hospital for any current unit-specific construction effects.
