What is the fictional hospital called in the television series House M.D.?

The fictional hospital in the television series House M.D. is Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The institution is located in New Jersey and serves as the main setting for nearly the entire series. Gregory House works there as a diagnostician, while the hospital’s medical staff treat patients whose symptoms resist ordinary explanations.

Princeton-Plainsboro is fictional, but the program used real medical terminology, hospital procedures, and recognizable professional roles. The name combines “Princeton,” associated with the New Jersey setting, and “Plainsboro,” a fictional municipality used by the series.

Viewers sometimes shorten the name to Princeton-Plainsboro or call it a university hospital, but the full canonical name is Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. The facility also provides the setting for administrative conflicts involving Lisa Cuddy and for many cases handled by House’s diagnostic team.
