Since 2019, SisterWeb has been driving the Champion Dyad Initiative (CDI), a program that is being implemented at all five sites/hospitals in San Francisco with labor and delivery units. The CDI fosters the support of one or two “champions” at each hospital to partner with one or more SisterWeb doulas. The partnership allows for the two parties to work together as a quality improvement tool to ensure that all birthing people of color receive respectful and equitable treatment during their births and pregnancies. The CDI creates opportunities for bi-directional feedback between SisterWeb and clinical sites, for clients to give input about the hospital setting and care they received, and for integration of doulas as core members of care teams and systems, which allows for SisterWeb and hospital providers to better support doulas and families from Black communities.
