ABOUT JEANNE

Img 8804 6r
Jeanne Goche, President and CEO
Jeanne Goche has grown her consulting practice into a full financial advisory in the distressed health care sector.  While creating long-term sustainability for health care organizations, she has gained over 20 years of experience in areas such as debt restructuring, merger/acquisition, turnaround, and interim C-suite management. 


Executive Leader & Strategic Consultant

Jeanne has a deep range of operational and strategic expertise developed over more than 25 years in her roles as a CEO, CFO and COO in the health care industry.  She has a keen ability to assess new situations and versatility in strategy creation and execution.

She has a proven record of improving organizational performance in a wide range of settings, from physician groups to academic centers, nursing homes, home health agencies, assisted living, and community hospitals.



Health Care Finance Depth

While trained as a generalist, health care finance is one of Jeanne’s strengths. She goes far beyond the standard accounting and auditing procedures in establishing excellent financial operations for her clients.  Where the CPA and auditor GAAP analysis ends, Jeanne’s work begins.

Her finance background is grounded in her work as Director of Business Development at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Iowa where she was involved in PPO, TPA, and HMO advancements, as well as mergers and acquisitions.

At the University of Iowa, during significant managed care growth, Jeanne built the revenue cycle system and achieved excellent rates for all the hospitals and clinical specialties.  This revenue cycle system received perfect scores by outside auditors.



Mentoring, Facilitation, and Collaboration


Jeanne has successfully mentored management teams through periods of instability. She has facilitated the renewal of relationships with Boards and physicians, as well as addressed staff and community concerns.

Collaboration is a hallmark of Jeanne’s approach. So much so that she has been recognized nationally for her work.  She received the Health Resources and Services Administration Award from the United States Department of Health and Human Services for meeting Organ Donation Breakthrough Collaborative goals ahead of schedule. This success involved collaboration with staff across a large academic medical center, as well as external regional organizations.


Jeanne has confidence in quickly building essential relationships in the complicated heath care organization, as well as with workout professionals, lenders, bond holders, creditors, and unions.



Education and Educational Activities

Jeanne received an MA in hospital and health administration and JD from the University of Iowa.  She is a frequent speaker on health care management.  She has developed revenue cycle and finance curricula for Texas A&M, Bradley University, and Drake University, one time partnering with the Health Care Financial Management Association (HFMA).  She also authors professional articles and is Co-editor for the Intensive Care section of the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) Journal.
