Hospiten has announced a US$80 million investment for the construction of Hospiten Punta Cana, a state-of-the-art medical facility designed to blend advanced clinical technology with rigorous environmental sustainability. The new medical center will be located in the Puntacana area to serve upscale customers in the Puntacana Resort & Club, Puntacana Village and Cap Cana areas. It expects to service both health tourism (tourists that come for elective and cost-saving medical services) as well as medical tourism (emergencies and critical care of tourists already in the country).

Hospiten was one of the first medical centers to open in the Punta Cana area when it opened its Hospiten Bavaro in 2000 at the time to service tourists staying in Bavaro Beach resorts. The company later opened the Hospiten Santo Domingo in Santo Domingo (2003).
