Health organizations that operate to ensure that people are fully well-being from a physiological, psychological and social point of view must minimize the damage of the structural environment to human health, meet the changing demands of consumers and efficiently use the weak resources that future generations will need. Environmentally sensitive hospitals plan their designs as green hospitals and aim to use resources efficiently. Green buildings are defined as nature-respectful, ecological, comfortable and energy consumption reducing buildings. Today, due to the rapidly developing technology, production has increased, but this has led to a decrease in natural resources and more damage to the environment. But the need for the internet and social media thanks to consumers’ environmental awareness has increased and consumers have now begun to use their preferences for environmentally friendly, sustainable products. In this study, healthcare users were trying to determine the level of awareness of green hospitals. The number of participants involved in the study is 439 people. The green hospital awareness dimensions are addressed as energy efficiency, water efficiency, quality of the interior environment, materials and resources, sustainable site planning and management. The study found that healthcare users have higher levels of awareness about the quality of the hospital’s interior environment, material-resources and sustainable site planning-management.
