In House, M.D., what is the name of House’s hospital in the fictional setting?

House, M.D. is set primarily at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The hospital is fictional and located in New Jersey within the show’s story. It provides the institutional setting for House’s diagnostic department, Cuddy’s administration, Wilson’s oncology practice, and the many patient cases that drive each episode.

Although the hospital is fictional, the series used real locations and studio sets to create its appearance. Princeton University’s Frist Campus Center in New Jersey was used for exterior shots representing the hospital, helping give the fictional institution a recognizable academic-medical atmosphere.

Viewers sometimes shorten the name to Princeton-Plainsboro or call it a real New Jersey hospital. Neither is the full official name used by the series. The complete fictional name is Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
