Reminders:
- New State Law and Your Medical Record. As of May 18, 2023, a new law in New Jersey requires hospitals and clinical laboratories to provide patients with a specific opportunity to update their medical records to reflect current information on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Initially, Cooper patients will be able to update their medical record in myCooper as we await regulations from the New Jersey Department of Health.
