S 1063 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOH to develop interconception care resources to enhance postpartum care for women.

This bill (S 1063) requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) to develop interconception care resources for healthcare providers and patients. Specifically, the DOH must create evidence-based clinical algorithms to help providers assess risks and manage complications from previous pregnancies, plus patient education materials explaining common postpartum health issues, treatments, and self-care strategies. The materials must be available in English, Spanish, and other major languages spoken in the state. These resources aim to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce risks in future pregnancies by enhancing postpartum care coordination. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
