John Goehle · MBA, CASC
A lot of different work, one person behind it
I spend my days in the ambulatory surgery center world — advising centers, hosting a podcast, running conferences, and writing books. Away from that work, I write about faith, I preach, and Sue and I raise golden retrievers. This is the place that ties it all together.
Who I Am
An ASC specialist who also writes, teaches, and preaches
I’m John Goehle. For more than three decades I’ve worked in and around ambulatory surgery centers — as an administrator, a specialist in compliance, governance, and finance, and more recently as an advisor, author, and educator helping centers across the country stay survey-ready and well-run.
That professional work has grown into several ventures: an advisory practice, a media company, a long-running podcast, a conference platform, and a shelf of books. Alongside all of it, I write about faith and preach, and at home Sue and I raise English Cream Golden Retrievers. This site is simply a map to all of it.
What I Do
The work, grouped by what it’s for
Each area has its own home on the web. Here’s a short guide to each, with links to where the work actually lives.
Ambulatory Healthcare Strategies
My advisory practice for ambulatory surgery centers — regulatory and accreditation readiness, governance, financial oversight, and the day-to-day help that keeps a center compliant and healthy. This is the professional work at the core of most of what I do.
Eden Group Development, Inc.
My media company — the home for the podcast, the virtual conferences and training, and the books. If Ambulatory Healthcare Strategies is the hands-on advisory side, Eden Group is how I reach a wider audience with the same knowledge.
The ASC Podcast with John Goehle
A free, plain-language podcast for surgery center professionals — regulatory changes, survey readiness, governance, and operations — with more than 280 episodes on every major platform.
ASC Central
Live and on-demand virtual conferences, bootcamps, and team training for ambulatory surgery centers — education your whole staff can attend without travel.
Professional & Personal Writing
Two shelves under one author. The professional ASC references — including The Survey Guide for ASCs and my book on ASC governance — live at jgoehle.com. My personal writing, including the faith memoir The Tug, lives at johngoehle.com.
A Quiet Thread Through Everything
Faith runs underneath all of this. I preach, and I’ve written about the long, imperfect journey of listening for God’s voice in my memoir The Tug — A Memoir of Failure, Faith, and the Quiet Voice That’s Been Guiding You All Along.
Fox Meadow English Cream Goldens
Outside of work, Sue and I raise English Cream Golden Retrievers as a small family breeder in Spencerport, New York — home-raised, health-tested, and part of the family before they’re ever part of yours.
