In House M.D., what is the name of House’s hospital, Princeton-Plainsboro?

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

The hospital provides the workplace for Gregory House, Lisa Cuddy, James Wilson, and the rotating diagnostic teams. Its name combines “Princeton,” associated with the New Jersey setting, and “Plainsboro,” a real township in the same state. The fictional institution is presented as a teaching hospital, so doctors treat patients while training and supervising medical staff.

Princeton-Plainsboro is not a real hospital, although the show used real locations for exterior and campus imagery. The pilot and later episodes were filmed in California, with the fictional New Jersey hospital created through production design and location shooting.

Viewers sometimes shorten the name to Princeton-Plainsboro or PPTH. Those forms refer to the same fictional institution, but the full canonical name includes “Teaching Hospital.”
