HM Hospitales

HM Hospitales is a private Spanish hospital group with a presence in the autonomous communities of Madrid, Galicia, Catalonia, Andalusia, Castilla-León and Castilla-La Mancha.

The group's beginnings date back to 1989 when the founders, Dr. Juan Abarca Campal and his wife, Dr. Carmen Cidón Tamargo, obtained the lease of the former Hospital de San Pedro Apóstol in Madrid,[3] which would later become Hospital Universitario HM Madrid, located in the center of the city.

This accreditation allows undergraduate teaching in all the Health Sciences degrees offered by the CEU San Pablo University.

Since then, HM Hospitales university hospitals have been training healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses and dentists.

[18] HM Hospitales' entry into Catalonia began in 2018 with the shareholding of Centro Médico Delfos,[19] the acquisition of Clínica Sant Jordi in northeast Barcelona,[20] and the purchase of Hospital de Nens specializing in pediatric care, teaching and research.

[23] Undergraduate and postgraduate training is provided by the HM Hospitales Faculty of Health Sciences of the Camilo José Cela University (UCJC), created in 2022.
