In House M.D., what is the name of House's hospital in the series?

The story behind the answer

In House M.D., House works at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital is the fictional New Jersey teaching hospital where most of the series takes place. Gregory House heads its Department of Diagnostic Medicine, and the hospital's staff provide the setting for the show's medical cases, administrative disputes, and personal storylines.

The name combines Princeton and Plainsboro, communities in New Jersey. The hospital is fictional, although the series used real locations and sets to create its visual world. Princeton University and the surrounding area also influenced the show's setting and production identity.

It is easy to shorten the name to Princeton-Plainsboro, but the full canonical name includes “Teaching Hospital.” That distinction matters because the question asks for the institution's series name, not a real New Jersey hospital or a generalized description of House's workplace.
