What is the name of the fictional hospital where House’s diagnostic team works in House M.D.?

House’s diagnostic team works at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in House M.D.

Princeton-Plainsboro is a fictional teaching hospital in New Jersey and serves as the principal setting for the series. The institution gives the characters access to specialists, laboratories, imaging equipment, and the complex cases that drive the drama.

Although the hospital is fictional, its name evokes real medical institutions in the Princeton area. Many exterior shots for the series were filmed at the Frist Campus Center of Princeton University, while other production work took place in Los Angeles. The show’s hospital interiors were constructed or filmed separately from the Princeton exteriors.

Viewers sometimes shorten the name to “Princeton-Plainsboro” or call it a real Princeton hospital. It is not an actual hospital; it was created for the program. The word “Teaching” is part of the fictional institution’s full name and reflects its connection to medical training and academic medicine.
