Single mothers with children constitute 82% of the poverty population. "Welfare to work" programs are now compulsory, and women must work in order to receive aid. Offering evening and weekend hours could accommodate more women who cannot afford to miss time off from work. The other options might be helpful for some patients and families, but to have the greatest impact on the largest group of people, accommodating work schedules is important for this population of women.
