Human services professions do consider client access to services as a social responsibility of the profession. It has nothing to do with working long hours, forcing therapists to work when they can't, having to work weekends, accepting all clients for every situation, etc.
My post is more related to those who say they have no responsibility to populations they serve when making business decisions. That's a business, not a profession. Those affiliated with a profession have committed to a set of values, behaviors, and standards.
