In House M.D., what is the name of Gregory House’s hospital?

The story behind the answer

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

The fictional teaching hospital is the primary setting for the series. House leads its Department of Diagnostic Medicine, where his team investigates unusual and difficult cases that other doctors have been unable to solve.

Although the hospital is fictional, the show presents it as a large academic medical center with emergency, surgical, neurological, and research departments. Its teaching-hospital setting allows the story to include residents, fellows, specialists, and medical students.

Princeton-Plainsboro is sometimes confused with Princeton University or with a real New Jersey hospital. The name is invented for the series, and exterior shots were filmed at different locations, including the Frist Campus Center at Princeton University for some hospital views.
