What fictional New Jersey hospital employs the main doctors in House M.D.?

The main doctors in House M.D. work at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The hospital is the primary setting for the series and houses the diagnostic medicine department led by Gregory House. Its teaching-hospital structure allows the show to bring together specialists, residents, administrators, patients, and researchers in one recurring location.

Princeton-Plainsboro is presented as being in New Jersey, near Princeton. Although the institution is fictional, the series used real locations and studio sets to represent its corridors, offices, laboratories, and treatment areas. The hospital’s name combines the real-world place name Princeton with the fictional municipality Plainsboro.

Viewers sometimes shorten the name to Princeton-Plainsboro or incorrectly call it Princeton General. Those forms are not the official name used in the show. Lisa Cuddy serves as the hospital’s administrator for much of the series, while James Wilson and other specialists frequently work there alongside House.
