DALLAS, Sept. 27  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Crdentia Corp. (OTC:CRDT) (BULLETIN BOARD: CRDT) , a leading U.S. provider of healthcare staffing services, today announced that it has been awarded a contract by a major third party staffing vendor to supply healthcare staffing services to a large integrated healthcare system in the southwest region.

Under terms of the agreement, Crdentia will be drawing on its expansive database of healthcare professionals to provide nursing and allied travel staffing services to a major healthcare system operating primarily in the Las Vegas metropolitan area.  Crdentia estimates the annual volume of purchases for outsourced staffing services from this contract will be approximately $3.0 million.

Jim Durham, Crdentia's Chairman and CEO, commented, "I am pleased that Crdentia has been awarded this contract with a large third party staffing vendor to help several Las Vegas-area healthcare facilities meet their staffing service requirements.  Our multidimensional approach to temporary staffing, which includes per diem staffing, travel nursing, and allied healthcare professionals, differentiates us from other major providers and was a key factor in Crdentia being selected.  Moreover, Crdentia has also worked with this vendor for several years.  This new contract is a testament to our excellent past performance and their confidence in our ability to continue to provide high-quality temporary staffing services."

About Crdentia Corp.

Crdentia Corp. is one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing services.  Crdentia seeks to capitalize on an opportunity that currently exists in the healthcare industry by targeting the critical nursing and allied shortage issue.  There are many small, private companies that are addressing the rapidly expanding needs of the healthcare industry. Unfortunately, due to their relatively small capitalization, they are unable to maximize their potential, obtain outside capital or expand.  By consolidating well-run small private companies into a larger public entity, Crdentia intends to facilitate access to capital, the acquisition of technology, providing greater diversity of client services and expanded distribution that, in turn, drive internal growth.
