In House M.D., what is the name of the fictional hospital where Gregory House works?

Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital is the fictional hospital where Gregory House works in House M.D.

The hospital is located in the fictional town of Princeton-Plainsboro, New Jersey, and serves as the main workplace for House and his diagnostic teams. Much of the series takes place there, especially in the Department of Diagnostic Medicine, the hospital department led by House.

The name combines recognizable New Jersey geography with a fictional institution. Princeton is a real municipality associated with Princeton University, while Plainsboro is also a real township in New Jersey. The show uses this setting to create a plausible academic-medical environment without presenting the hospital as a real facility.

Many regular characters work at Princeton-Plainsboro, including James Wilson, Lisa Cuddy, and several rotating members of House’s team. It is sometimes confused with real teaching hospitals because the series uses authentic medical terminology and hospital procedures.
