To be healthy, when individual efforts are not sufficient, it is necessary to get professional service from health institutions. Each individual goes through a particular decision-making process in order to choose the right health institution. This study aims to examine the personal, corporate, environmental factors and the brand image of the health institution’s choice. For this purpose, within the experimental model framework, the experts were first interviewed, and then a questionnaire was applied after the pilot study. In the study conducted in Istanbul, where convenience sampling was used, a total of 657 questionnaires were reached by face to face survey method; 628 were found to be usable and included in the analysis.
