Requires DOH to prepare resource guide on preeclampsia and gestational diabetes for distribution to pregnant persons.
S 2871 requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to create and distribute a free resource guide on preeclampsia and gestational diabetes to all pregnant people receiving care at hospitals or birthing centers licensed in the state. The guide must explain symptoms, health effects on both the pregnant person and baby, and strategies for communicating concerns to healthcare providers, and must be provided in the patient's preferred language. It will be distributed during hospital or birthing center intake processes and made available online for printing. This applies to every pregnant person receiving perinatal care in New Jersey, with the DOH responsible for updating the guide and supplying additional copies to facilities upon request.
