In House M.D., which fictional hospital is Gregory House's workplace?

Gregory House works at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in House M.D.

The institution is the series’ principal fictional hospital and the home of its diagnostic medicine department. House and his fellows evaluate patients whose symptoms do not fit ordinary explanations, while other departments provide specialist testing and treatment.

Princeton-Plainsboro is presented as a teaching hospital, meaning that medical education, supervision, and specialist collaboration are part of its structure. This helps explain why House works with changing teams of fellows and why cases involve a broad range of departments.

The hospital’s name combines the real New Jersey communities of Princeton and Plainsboro, but there is no real institution with the exact fictional role shown in the series. The exterior was represented by a building at Princeton University, while the production created many interior hospital environments on studio sets. The hospital therefore functions as both a fictional workplace and a recognizable visual anchor for the program.
