Before testifying before any committee:

a) Get to know committee members, testimony format, and permitted length of testimony.
b) Do not prepare any written text, as prepared testimony is often struck from the record, and dress
nicely.
c) Practice an impassioned speech; don't worry about length, as there are very rarely restrictions on
how long testimony lasts.
d) Wait for the committee to contact you about when the committee meeting will be held, and
choose the issue about which you wish to speak, but it is not necessary to provide any written
testimony.

Alice Singletary, a novice social worker with Magnolia Hospice in Alexandria, Louisiana, met June Plunket, who had terminal cancer, and her daughter, Polly, for an admission interview. June was in quite a bit of pain and trying to cope with dying. Polly blamed Dr. Dubuis and herself for her mother’s approaching death, and was also angry with her brother, who had distanced himself from the family. June and Polly lived in a chaotic and overcrowded household with Polly’s daughter, Jenna, and Jenna’s two young children. While assessing June’s situation, Alice identified a multitude of family problems which had to be balanced with the mission of the hospice. In this situation, Alice was not sure where to begin.
