Warning signs: when to go to the ER

No hospital in Toa Baja: where do you go?

Federal hospital data (CMS) lists no hospital in Toa Baja, Levittown or Toa Alta. And in November 2016 Toa Baja sold its CDT (the municipal diagnostic and treatment center) to Metro Toa Baja, Inc. for $4,251,000 to pay down municipal debt, according to Primera Hora. We could not verify any ER or urgent care center in Levittown.

What Toa Baja does have: Morovis Community Health Center runs a clinic at Carr. 863 Km 1.0, Bo. Pájaros, 787-862-3000, open 56 hours a week per the federal health-center directory (HRSA). It offers primary care and does not advertise an ER.

That leaves three options: SIM's ER in Toa Alta, the hospitals in Bayamón, or a video visit when it is not an emergency. Not sure which? Read where to go when you are sick.

Levittown CDT? The Toa Alta ER for emergencies, video for the rest

Looking for the CDT in Levittown? A CDT (centro de diagnóstico y tratamiento) is a community diagnostic and treatment center, and some have an ER; see what a CDT is and when to go. Primera Hora mentioned a "CDT de Levittown" with staff on duty in July 2024, but we could not verify its operator, hours or phone today: if you plan to go, call first. So here is what we recommend:

  • Emergency: SIM's 24-hour ER in Toa Alta town (address and phone below); for anything serious, call 911 or go to the Bayamón hospitals.
  • Everything else: a cold, fever, sore throat, UTI, rash or refill. The doctor sees you by video at home in Levittown; see virtual urgent care.
  • At night or on the weekend: a doctor online 24/7 by video for anything that is not an emergency.

Levittown and Toa Alta pharmacies: a 24-hour store is not a 24-hour counter

The Walgreens on Ave Los Dominicos keeps its store open all night, but its pharmacy counter closes at 10 p.m. From each store's page on the Walgreens locator and the Farmacias Caridad directory:

  • Walgreens, 35 Ave Los Dominicos, Levittown, 787-795-2083. Store: 24 hours. Pharmacy counter: daily 7 a.m.–10 p.m.

  • Farmacia Caridad Levittown, 60 Ave Los Dominicos, 787-795-8630. Counter: Mon–Fri 7 a.m.–9 p.m., Sat 8 a.m.–8 p.m., and Sun 10 a.m.–8 p.m. The only Caridad in Toa Baja or Toa Alta.

Call before you go; hours change.

  1. Is it an emergency? Chest pain, shortness of breath, stroke signs or a serious wound: call 911. SIM's ER in Toa Alta town and Bayamón Medical Center are open 24 hours.
  2. A very sick child? SIM's ER sees children around the clock, and Puerto Rico Children's Hospital is on PR-2 in Bayamón. For anything that is not an emergency, the doctor sees children of all ages by video: see video visits for children.

Doctor in Toa Baja by video: how we care for you

Dr. Diana Nieves Castro, MD, is a general practice physician licensed in Puerto Rico, with several years of emergency-department experience. She sees adults and children of all ages by video, in English or Spanish. She evaluates, diagnoses and treats; if needed, she gives you a lab order for a lab near you, such as a strep, urine or blood test. If appropriate, the doctor prescribes and we send your prescription to your pharmacy. Levittown, Toa Baja and Toa Alta are covered by our telehealth across Puerto Rico, with no hospital trip for what is not an emergency.

We send you a secure video link; it works on your phone, tablet or computer. You just need to be in Puerto Rico during the visit. Anyone under 21 needs a parent or legal guardian on the video, with ID. Your card is charged when you request the visit, with a full refund if the clinic can’t see you, and a doctor's note after the visit is included.

  • Doctor visit: new problems, non-emergency urgent care, primary care and children.
  • Follow-up: a refill of a medicine you already take (non-controlled), or a review of lab results for existing patients.
  • Forms: school or university forms.

Floods and the Río La Plata: prepare your medications

During Hurricane María the Río La Plata rose more than 11 feet on September 20, 2017, and 2019 flood maps describe Toa Baja as "extremely vulnerable" to flooding. The area around Lago La Plata in Levittown flooded too, and in Toa Alta María caused many landslides (per Wikipedia, a secondary source).

If you live in a flood zone, keep a list of your medications and doses, photos of the labels and a spare supply in a waterproof bag you can grab. If floodwater takes your medications, the doctor evaluates you by video and, if appropriate, prescribes replacements and we send your prescription to your pharmacy. See medications and hurricanes.

Levittown, Toa Alta and dengue: who lives here

Levittown, which Levitt & Sons began building in 1963 around the Bulevar de Levittown and Ave Los Dominicos, had 25,591 residents in the 2020 Census; PR-165 links it to Toa Alta, Cataño and Dorado (per Wikipedia). Toa Alta has the youngest population of the metro areas we cover: only 18.5% are 65 or older (Toa Baja: 23.3%), per the Census Bureau. That means many families with kids, and with no hospital in town, a child's fever at night often means a drive to Bayamón or to SIM's ER.

According to the Puerto Rico Department of Health's weekly report for week 37 (published September 23, 2026, the latest as of September 30), Toa Baja has 27 dengue cases so far in 2026 and Toa Alta 17. Standing water after rain breeds mosquitoes, so empty containers and use repellent. Dengue warning signs mean the ER; see our dengue guide. Addresses, phone numbers and hours on this page were last verified on 2026-09-30.

Urgent care by video in Toa Baja and Toa Alta

For urgent problems that are not emergencies, the doctor evaluates you by video from wherever you are in Puerto Rico, without driving or looking for parking. If appropriate, she prescribes and we send the prescription to your pharmacy, or she gives you a lab order.

The doctor can see you by video for:

Call 911 or go to the emergency room for:

  • Chest pain or pressure
  • Trouble breathing or bluish lips
  • Face drooping, weakness on one side or trouble speaking
  • Bleeding that will not stop, a deep wound or a hard blow to the head
