We have been welcomed into one of our local schools to offer a satellite clinic, which eases the burden of transportation. Letting clients review the billing sheets after each visit to see the charges and understand exactly the monetary cost of these services has proven beneficial. Word of mouth is powerful. PCHD is always looking for creative ways to market ourselves as the ‘experts’ in reproductive health.
