Over time, HM Healthcare Group has continued to open medical centers in the autonomous regions of Madrid, Galicia, Catalonia, Andalucia, Castile and León and Castile-La Mancha.

In addition, the Group has three specialist centres focused on oncology, cardiology and neuroscience, three centres offering assisted reproduction, dentistry and ophthalmology, as well as centres in the Community of Madrid, Galicia, Castile and Castile. 21 polyclinics in Aguas-La Mancha and Catalonia.
Expansion and Acquisitions
HM Medical Group began in 1989 when founders Dr. Juan Abarca Campal and his wife Dr. Carmen Sidon Tamargo rented the old St. Peter the Apostle Hospital in Madrid, which then became HM University Hospital of Madrid today. The move marked the beginning of HM Medical Group, initially named Madrid Hospital Group.
By 1997, many hospitals in the Community of Madrid had been established or joined groups, such as HM Montepríncipe and HM Torrelodones.
University and Research Education
HM Medical Group is also committed to the training and education of medical professionals. Since 2008, most HM hospitals have been accredited as university hospitals, allowing for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in health sciences. In 2011, the Belém Mother and Child Hospital was acquired and renamed HM Nuevo Belén Hospital; in 2012, the HM CIEC Comprehensive Cardiology Center was opened.
Development of the research center
Less well-known but extremely important, the HM Medical Group Research Foundation, established in 2003, has carried out a wealth of research projects in many fields, including oncology, cardiology and neuroscience. These projects are often carried out in collaboration with multiple domestic and international research institutions such as the National Cancer Research Center, the National Science Research Council and others, making HM Medical Group a pioneer in scientific research.
Since 2021, the HM Medical Group Research Foundation has also selected the "Juan Abarca International Medical Science Award" to recognize medical research results with global impact.
