In House M.D., what is the name of the hospital where Gregory House leads the diagnostic team?

In House M.D., Gregory House leads the diagnostic team at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The fictional teaching hospital is the principal setting of the series. It is located in Princeton, New Jersey, and combines emergency care, specialist medicine, research, and medical education. House’s Diagnostic Medicine department investigates unusual cases that other doctors have been unable to solve.

The hospital’s name is sometimes shortened by characters and viewers to “Princeton-Plainsboro.” It should not be confused with a real hospital bearing the same name: Princeton-Plainsboro is a fictional institution created for the show. The series uses it as a shared setting for departments including oncology, neurology, surgery, and infectious disease.

The hospital also provides the workplace context for House’s relationships with Lisa Cuddy, James Wilson, and the rotating members of his diagnostic team. Its teaching-hospital structure helps explain why residents, fellows, and specialists repeatedly participate in difficult cases.
