The CHAMPS National Training Platform offers comprehensive trainings designed for CHAMPS National hospital staff and their community partners. CHAMPS National trainings cover the competencies outlined in the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, focusing on equity and safety. The curriculum includes a prerequisite Safety Training and five units covering counseling skills, prenatal and postpartum care, quality improvement, special cases, and discharge, follow-up, and community support.

CHAMPS National began in September 2023, as a three-year cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to implement evidence-based maternal health practices with hospitals nationwide. CHAMPS National is led by the Center for Health Equity, Education, and Research at Boston Medical Center, and is dedicated to promoting equitable, maternity care practices to address disparities in breastfeeding rates. The program has enrolled 100 hospitals across the US and its territories, and focuses on reducing racial disparities in breastfeeding rates and promoting maternal-child health practices. The combined births at all CHAMPS National hospitals exceeds 200,000 births annually.
