In the television series House M.D., what is the name of Dr. House’s hospital?

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

Princeton-Plainsboro is a fictional teaching hospital in New Jersey and serves as the main setting for the series. House leads a small diagnostic-medicine team there, investigating unusual illnesses that other doctors have been unable to identify.

The hospital name combines “Princeton,” the New Jersey location associated with the show, with “Plainsboro,” a nearby municipality. Although the institution is fictional, many exterior scenes were filmed at Princeton University buildings and other locations in the United States.

Viewers sometimes shorten the name to Princeton-Plainsboro or simply PPTH, but the full canonical name is Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. It is not the same as a real hospital in Princeton, New Jersey.
