The hospital administrator in House M.D. is Dr. Lisa Cuddy.
Lisa Cuddy is the Dean of Medicine and hospital administrator at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital for much of the series. She is played by Lisa Edelstein and is responsible for managing the institution while attempting to control House’s risky behavior, rule-breaking, and frequent conflicts with hospital policy.
Cuddy is a physician as well as an administrator. Her professional relationship with House develops from mutual frustration and respect into a romantic relationship during the series. The character also has storylines involving fertility, adoption, leadership, and the pressure of balancing personal and institutional responsibilities.
Viewers sometimes identify the character only by Edelstein’s name or confuse her with other fictional hospital administrators. The canonical character name is Lisa Cuddy, and the surname is not an abbreviation or title.
