Elevating Ambulatory Surgery Centers with Expert Oversight
Ambulatory Healthcare Strategies, LLC (AHS) is the nation’s leading provider of regulatory and financial oversight for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and Office-Based Surgery practices. With over 85 clients nationwide, our team, led by John Goehle, consists of more than 25 industry experts, including five surveyors. We specialize in outsourced services that help your organization maintain compliance, optimize financial performance, and streamline operations.

Our approach is customized to your organization’s specific needs, offering both one-time consulting and ongoing retainer-based oversight services.
