A 1815 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOH to conduct survey on status of antenatal and prenatal care clinics in New Jersey.

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) to conduct a survey of all antenatal and prenatal care clinics across the state, including those that have closed or significantly reduced services within the past two years. The survey will collect data on clinic availability, demographic and socioeconomic details of patients (especially low and moderate income pregnant women), and disparities in care access, while protecting personal health information. The DOH must analyze the data to identify trends and develop strategies to improve maternity care quality and access, then publish findings on its website and submit a legislative report within 18 months. This policy change directly affects clinics, the DOH, and future health care planning for pregnant individuals in New Jersey.
