Which fictional hospital employs Gregory House in House M.D.?

The story behind the answer

Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital employs Gregory House in House M.D. It is the fictional New Jersey teaching hospital where House leads the Department of Diagnostic Medicine.

The hospital provides the main setting for the series. Its diagnostic team receives patients whose symptoms have resisted ordinary treatment, and House’s group investigates their cases through tests, differential diagnosis, and occasional risky interventions. Other recurring characters, including James Wilson and Lisa Cuddy, also work there.

Princeton-Plainsboro is fictional, but the production used real locations and sets to create its appearance. The name can be confused with Princeton University or with real hospitals in New Jersey. In the story, it is a teaching institution rather than a university campus, and its staff includes many specialties beyond House’s department.
