What is the name of the teaching hospital where House works in House M.D.?

House works at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in House M.D.

The fictional New Jersey hospital is the principal setting for the series. House leads the Department of Diagnostic Medicine there, taking on patients whose symptoms have not been explained by more routine medical investigations.

Princeton-Plainsboro is presented as a teaching hospital, so residents, fellows, and medical students are part of its clinical environment. The hospital also provides the setting for the show’s emergency cases, surgeries, clinic scenes, administrative disputes, and research discussions.

The name combines Princeton and Plainsboro, two real New Jersey place names. The hospital itself is fictional, although the series used real medical terminology and drew inspiration from diagnostic case reports. Viewers sometimes confuse it with real hospitals shown in other medical dramas, such as Seattle Grace or Sacred Heart.
