The approach of
BillieJanne
exploration is a field research which relies on technical instruments and processes with the intention of discovering or studying something, to make advance a science or human knowledge.
For BillieJanne, it is therefore, through "the exploration in health, to advance public health through spaces for reflection, grounding and an activity of advice andexpertise.

WHO ARE WE ?
GENESIS OF BILLIEJANNE
BillieJanne was founded by the companies Pépites and Co! and Lucky Link.
These two structures had many points in commonin terms of type of activity, founding values and vision around issues related to the roles of health actors, but also great complementarities in their expertise.
Beyond the already existing partnership dynamic and the future of their reciprocal structure, the founders of Pépites and Co! and Lucky Link identified a fertile synergy in their personal and professional aspirations.
Thus, if the two structures could be almost superimposed in their consulting activity, the search for a ground project anchor on one side and the desire to breathe new inspiration on the other, have generated a creative space around exploration in public health which links both the dynamics of action and discovery.
BillieJanne was born.

Behind the name of BillieJanne hide four eponymous characters whose fights have inspired us.
Jeanne Barrett
Orphan peasant woman turned botanist explorer dressed up as a man
Jeanne Barret is the first woman to circumnavigate the globe with the Bougainville expedition on the Boudeuse and the Star from 1766 to 1793. Expert in botany, disguised as a man, under the name of Jean Barret, she enlisted as assistant to the naturalist of the expedition, Philibert Commerson qu she heals throughout the journey. Born into a poor peasant family, she eventually inherited Commerson and received the honors of King Louis XVI, who recognized her merits as an assistant botanist.

Better known as Nellie Bly, she is the first explorer to circumnavigate the globe in 72 days in 1890. As a journalist for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, her first task was to write an article about a women's asylum. She pretends to be sick and invents psychiatric problems in order to be interned there. The immersive report Ten Days in a Mad Housecaused a scandal by revealing the horrors of the methods used. It brought about a radical change in practices
Billie Holiday
Discriminated singer whose father suffered from lack of access to health
Eleanora Fagan, aka Billie Holiday is one of the greatest jazz singers. Abel Meeropol, a Jewish teacher and poet published in 1937 the verses ofStrange Fruitwhich denounces the summary executions of black Americans. He sees en Billie the perfect interpreter of this cry of indignation. The singer understands that the song sets to music the injustice that killed her father, after several hospitals in the segregationist south refused to treat him. Strange fruit becomes the flagship song of Café Society and Billie Holiday.
William Osler
Physician campaigning for the importance of the patient experience.
William Osler is recognized as the father of modern medicine.William's greatest contribution to medicine was his program for students to learn their trade by seeing patients and talking to them. In 1889, appointed Chief Physician at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, he downplayed the importance of lectures and said he hoped his tombstone would only write "He brought medical students to the bedside to receive their teaching".
