What is the name of the fictional hospital where House M.D.'s final season is set?

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

The institution is the principal workplace for Gregory House and the show's diagnostic teams. Although the hospital is fictional, the series uses it as a full teaching hospital with administrators, specialists, fellows, emergency services, and research facilities. Much of the drama comes from House's department operating inside that larger institution.

The hospital remains the central setting in the final season, even as House's personal and professional circumstances change. The name combines Princeton and Plainsboro, reflecting the fictional New Jersey location used by the series. Exterior shots for the hospital were filmed at the Frist Campus Center at Princeton University, while much of the production took place in Los Angeles.

The hospital's name is easy to confuse with real medical centers or with hospitals from other television dramas. It should also not be shortened to “Princeton Hospital,” because the canonical fictional name includes “Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.”
