7. Why is it called... ?

8. Why is it called ?
 Importance of a brand name
 A play on words ? (Cultivate your health)
 To define my department's goals, the word
« Cap » can be used as 3 letters of an
acronyme
- C = Comprehension
- A = Action
- P = Prevention

9. Comprehension, Action, Prevention
 To be a place for understanding current health
issues, a free place for listening and discussion
 To be a forum for meeting, learning and testing
 To help people stay healthy

10. Conferences, exhibitions, workshops

11. CAP could also mean
 C = Collections
 A = Action on line
 P = Partnership

12. Collections
 The service is not really a documentation
center BUT a public information point
 We consider health as “a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity”
that's why our collections touch on broader
themes that medicine

13. Medicine 15%
Illness, Disability 15%
Psychology, Psychiatry 15%
Anatomy 2%
Psychology, Psychiatry 15%
Public health 1%
Profession 10%
