What is the name of House M.D.’s fictional teaching hospital?

House M.D. is set primarily at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.

The hospital is located in Princeton, New Jersey, and serves as the workplace for Gregory House, his diagnostic team, hospital administrator Lisa Cuddy, and oncologist James Wilson. Although the hospital is fictional, the series uses recognizable features of a teaching hospital, including residents, fellows, specialist departments, research, and medical training.

Princeton-Plainsboro is sometimes shortened by characters and viewers to PPTH. It is also easy to confuse with real hospitals in Princeton or with settings from other medical dramas. The show’s exterior hospital shots were filmed at Princeton University’s Frist Campus Center, while many interior scenes were produced on sound stages.

The hospital’s changing staff and departments provide the setting for both the case-of-the-week stories and the longer personal storylines.
