In House M.D., what is the name of Dr. House’s hospital during the series?

Dr. House works at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in House M.D.

The hospital is a fictional teaching hospital in New Jersey and serves as the main setting for the series. House leads a specialized diagnostic team there, investigating rare or unusually complicated cases that other doctors have been unable to solve.

Although Princeton-Plainsboro is fictional, the show presents it as a large academic medical center with emergency, surgical, oncology, intensive-care, and research facilities. The teaching-hospital setting also explains why House’s team regularly consults specialists and trains under senior physicians.

Viewers sometimes confuse the hospital with Princeton University or with real New Jersey medical institutions. The series used several filming locations, including the University of Southern California campus, to represent the hospital. The name is also distinct from hospitals in other medical dramas, such as Seattle Grace in Grey’s Anatomy and Sacred Heart in Scrubs.
