Lower Bucks — The Riverfront Communities’ Hospital
Lower Bucks Hospital
Bristol Township’s hospital since the 1950s — the closest ER for Bristol Borough, Croydon, Tullytown, and the riverfront end of the county.
Lower Bucks Hospital opened in the 1950s alongside the Levittown build-out, and it still does the job it was built for: the community hospital for the county’s riverfront corner. It sits on Bath Road in Bristol Township, minutes from Croydon, Bristol Borough, Tullytown, and the western Levittown sections.
Now operated within the Prime Healthcare family, it runs a 24/7 emergency department plus core inpatient services — the nearest ER for tens of thousands of homes in the most affordable stretch of the county.
