In House M.D., what is the fictional hospital where House and his team work?

House and his diagnostic team work at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The hospital is located in New Jersey and provides the main setting for the series. Its diagnostic medicine department handles patients with rare, complicated, or unexplained illnesses, allowing House and his colleagues to investigate cases that ordinary departments have been unable to solve.

Princeton-Plainsboro is fictional, but the show used real locations and studio sets to represent it. Princeton University’s Frist Campus Center was used for exterior shots of the hospital. The institution’s name is sometimes shortened by viewers to Princeton-Plainsboro or PPTH, but the full canonical name is Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
