Having conducted many seminars for patients, I am totally against charging patients fees for what I consider educational/informational sessions. I have never charged fees and the seminars have always been well attended because the people, most often women in my case, come for the information and not for the $35.00 (or higher) lunches. Often times, however, organizations will say something similar to: 'fees to attend will be waived for those who need assistance' or similar verbiage. I also object to this. The latter to me is a definite barrier - an emotional barrier. Who wants to personally admit that a particular fee is just beyond one's financial ability? this message is not getting out.
Do you have some sense or words of wisdom on how to make people understand this?
