Requires DOH to conduct survey on status of antenatal and prenatal care clinics in New Jersey.
New Jersey's S 1991 requires the Department of Health (DOH) to survey all antenatal and prenatal care clinics - including those that closed within the past two years - to evaluate maternity care access statewide. The survey collects data on clinic locations, service availability, patient demographics (especially low- and moderate-income pregnant women), and socioeconomic factors affecting care. DOH must analyze this data to identify disparities in care access, develop improvement strategies, and publish findings on its website within 18 months. The bill mandates a legislative report with recommendations but prohibits sharing personal health information. This data-gathering measure aims to inform future policy decisions on clinic services and funding.
