At which fictional hospital does House work in House M.D.?

House works at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in House M.D. The fictional New Jersey teaching hospital is the primary setting for the series and houses the diagnostic medicine department led by Dr. Gregory House.

The hospital provides the show with patients whose symptoms are unusual, confusing, or resistant to standard treatment. Its teaching-hospital structure also explains why House works with fellows and why medical debates occur among specialists.

Princeton-Plainsboro is fictional, but the series used real locations and sets to create its medical environment. The name combines the New Jersey communities of Princeton and Plainsboro, helping establish the show’s regional setting without placing the story in a real hospital.
