The purpose of this study was to prove the effect of health service quality on trust through patient satisfaction at the Public Health Center in Jember Regency. The research was conducted through a survey using a questionnaire on 204 patients from 6 selected health centers with consecutive sampling techniques. Data analysis techniques using Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Partial Least Square (PLS).
