It became a hospital in 2000. It was reopened as such on 1 February 2000, in the presence of the President of the Xunta de Galicia.{{Cite web |date=20 October 2015 |title=De sanatorio con una sola consulta y dos camas a complejo con cuatro centros de referencia |url=https://www.diariodepontevedra.es/articulo/noticias/de-sanatorio-con-una-sola-consulta-y-dos-camas-complejo-con-cuatro-centros-de/20151020020000286383.html |website=Diario de Pontevedra |language=es}} In 2009, it became the Miguel Domínguez Hospital Group after the merger of three private institutions: the Miguel Domínguez Hospital, the Miguel Domínguez Polyclinic and the La Merced Medical Clinic. In 2011, it incorporated the Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Centre in San Pedro de Alcántara Street into the hospital group.

On 16 October 2015, the private hospital group Quirónsalud bought the main hospital in the city centre from the Domínguez family, as well as the polyclinic specialities centre in Castelao Street, the rehabilitation and physiotherapy centre in San Pedro de Alcántara Street and the La Merced clinic in Andurique (Poio), very close to the city, which became the Neurorehabilitation Institute{{Cite web |date=2 January 2016 |title=La familia Domínguez vendió su hospital al grupo Quirónsalud |url=https://pontevedraviva.com/especial/24966/2015-fin-66-anos-familia-dominguez-quironsalud/?lang=es |website=Pontevedra Viva |language=es}} and was finally moved to the Quirón Hospital in the centre of Pontevedra in January 2024.{{Cite web |date=23 January 2024 |title=Quirón traslada al Domínguez el Instituto de Neuro-rehabilitación de La Merced |url=https://www.diariodepontevedra.es/articulo/pontevedra/quiron-traslada-dominguez-instituto-neuro-rehabilitacion-merced/202401232251411288924.html|website=Diario de Pontevedra }}

The Pontevedra Quirón Hospital has two entrances, one on Frei Xoán de Navarrete Street (main entrance) and one on Castelao Street, where the emergency and clinical analysis services are located. It has more than 50 specialist doctors, 5 operating theatres and advanced testing and diagnostic technologies. It also has other facilities such as an analysis laboratory and a conference room.

It was the first private health centre in Pontevedra to have an artificial respirator and to have a CT scan, magnetic resonance or "intelligent" operating rooms.

The hospital has an agreement with the Galician Health Service (Sergas) as an authorised hospital to send patients. This centre receives patients who are victims of work and traffic accidents.
