In House M.D., which New Jersey teaching hospital employs Gregory House?

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

Princeton-Plainsboro is the fictional teaching hospital where most of the series takes place. House leads its Department of Diagnostic Medicine, a unit created around his unusual ability to solve baffling medical cases.

The hospital’s name combines “Princeton” and “Plainsboro,” reflecting the fictional New Jersey setting used by the show. Although the hospital is fictional, the series uses recognizable features of a major teaching institution, including fellows, attending physicians, specialist departments, a clinic, and a hospital administrator.

Princeton-Plainsboro is sometimes confused with a real hospital because the program presents its clinical environment in detail. It was not a real New Jersey hospital operating under that name. The fictional institution also changes administratively over the series, but its central role as House’s workplace remains constant.
