📍 Local Distance Radius Rules: Local candidates living within a 50-mile radius of the facility are fully accepted. However, under regional contract parameters, local profiles are subject to an adjusted lower local bill rate. 🏠 Housing Consultation Advisory: Providence compliance requires traveling clinicians to actively research local housing options in the Healdsburg/Sonoma County area prior to their start date, as regional vacancy options can be limited. 🏖️ Mandatory Pre-Submission RTO & Holiday Policy: Requested time off (RTO) must be explicitly declared at the exact moment of initial profile submittal.

Former permanent staff members must be separated for at least 3 months to return as a contractor. 🔄 Flexible Cross-Floating Mandate: Traveling technologists must maintain a flexible approach to clinical support.
