Who is behind the old Mercy Hospital building: the companies and people, mapped

Leave a comment

The company that sold the former Mercy Hospital building at 401 Woodland Hills Blvd. shares an owner with Kansas Renewal Institute, and Kansas Renewal Institute shares a manager and an address with the building’s new owner, according to public filings in five states and New York City.

FortScott.biz reported that a deed recorded Oct. 13 conveys the building from Kansas RE Investment Group LLC to 401 Woodland Hills KS Realty LLC, and that the new owner and Kansas Renewal Institute LLC (KRI) took out a $17.5 million mortgage on it the same day. This story maps the relationships between the various entities and the people who had ownership, management, or business transactions related to the old Mercy building.

The seller and KRI share an owner

The seller, Kansas RE Investment Group, is a Georgia company based in Sandy Springs, Ga. The 2026 deed was signed for it by Erik Engebretson, as authorized signatory of Guild Dream Homes LLC, which the deed calls a managing member of the seller.

Guild Dream Homes is also one of the five companies that each own 5% or more of KRI, according to KRI’s 2026 report to the Kansas Secretary of State, which Engebretson signed. Georgia records list Engebretson as the registered agent for Guild Dream Homes, Kansas RE Investment Group and a third company, EME Consulting Inc., all at the Sandy Springs address. In 2024, FortScott.biz identified Engebretson as KRI’s chief financial officer.

Timothy Denning is the seller’s registered agent in Kansas, at the hospital building’s address. The 2024 story identified T.J. Denning as KRI’s chief operating officer.

Kansas Secretary of State records show the seller’s Kansas registration was forfeited July 15, 2026, for failing to file its annual information report, about six weeks before it signed the deed. Its Georgia registration is active.

KRI’s owners

KRI’s 2026 Kansas report lists five companies that each own 5% or more of it:

  • JG Healthcare Solutions LLC, Golden, Colo. Colorado records show it was formed in 2023 and is in good standing. The 2024 FortScott.biz story called it KRI’s parent company and identified Jonathan Gross as KRI’s chief executive.
  • Guild Dream Homes LLC, Sandy Springs, Ga. (Engebretson; see above).
  • Dennings LLC, Seneca, Mo. Missouri has a DENNING’S LLC, formed in December 2023 with Bounds Law LLC of Kansas City as organizer, the same firm that organized KRI in Kansas two weeks later. The Missouri filing names no owners or principal business address, so it is not clear it is the same company. The name is similar to that of KRI’s chief operating officer, but no record we found confirms a link.
  • KRI Otto HoldCo LLC, Lexington, Ky. Kentucky lists it as formed in April 2024 and now inactive and in bad standing, with Matthew Otto as registered agent. Its Kansas registration was also forfeited in July.
  • Tinervin Consulting LLC, Novato, Calif. California records show it was formed in December 2023 and is managed by its members. Its 2025 statements of information list Joseph Robert Tinervin as its manager or member and give its type of business as behavioral health care. The 2024 FortScott.biz story identified Joe Tinervin as KRI’s president of operations.

The new owner

401 Woodland Hills KS Realty LLC was formed in Kansas on July 1, 2026. Its formation filing was signed by Elliott Teitelbaum and does not name its owners.

David E. Marx signed the $17.5 million mortgage as manager of the new owner and, separately, as manager of Kansas Renewal Institute LLC. Both companies give the same address in Flushing, N.Y., on the loan papers. New York City housing records list 7MDR of Queens, Inc. as the owner of that building and a David E. Marx as its president. The website of Marx Development Group, a New York City developer, lists a David E. Marx as its owner and chief executive. KRI’s own Kansas filings still give the hospital building as its address.

Legacy and the BR companies

Bourbon County donated the building and $2 million to Legacy Healthcare Foundation in November 2022. Legacy’s 2024 IRS Form 990 lists Troy Schell as chairman, Jose Banos as chief financial officer, Juan Banos as president and Vanessa Banos as a director, with an address in Glendora, Calif. Schell signed the 2022 donation agreement and the 2024 deed for Legacy, and signed the 2024 mortgage assignment as manager of Legacy Health LLC, which gives the same Glendora address.

The donation agreement required Legacy to provide at closing proof of a purchase, or a signed agreement to purchase, of other Bourbon County property worth more than $300,000, or of a line of credit or loan of $2 million or more. Its opening section describes the line of credit as one “secured by a lending institution in the amount of no less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) which has already been verified by Donor.” County records released under the Kansas Open Records Act include a Sept. 27, 2022, letter headed “Re: Legacy Health Bourbon County Hospital” on letterhead listing Legacy’s Glendora address and www.brco.com. It says, “I am authorizing the use of $2,000,000.00 (TWO MILLION DOLLARS AND 00/100) as an additional operating line of credit from the B.R. General Fund I,” and describes the fund as “a private investment fund.” The letter is in the name of Camron Cubak, managing principal. Cubak emailed it on Sept. 29, 2022, from a brco.com address to Rob Harrington, then executive director of Bourbon County REDI, the county-funded economic development organization, with copies to Jose Banos and Juan Banos at brco.com addresses. Harrington forwarded it to commissioners and county officials. In a June 2022 email in the same records, Jennifer Massey, whom FortScott.biz identified in November 2022 as Legacy’s chief clinical operations officer, is addressed at a brco.com address. FortScott.biz’s review of the county’s records found no other proof of a line of credit, from a lending institution or otherwise.

California Secretary of State records show the same names as Legacy’s chairman and president, and as Cubak, on three corporations with B.R. names that list Legacy’s address. The records do not say who owns them or whether they are connected to Legacy:

  • B.R. Capital and Finance Corporation was incorporated April 16, 2021, at Legacy’s Glendora address. Troy Schell signed its articles as incorporator and was its registered agent. Juan J. Banos signed its election to wind up and dissolve on July 15, 2021, and the state lists it as terminated as of Aug. 12, 2021.
  • BR Capital & Finance, a separate corporation formed in January 2019 and still active, gives a principal address in Newport Beach and uses Legacy’s Glendora address as its mailing address. Its registered agent is Camron G. Cubak of Glendora.
  • BR Capital Inc., formed in August 2023 and active, gives Legacy’s Glendora address as both its principal and mailing address. Its registered agent, Mohamad Khattab, is listed at the same address.

Business listings also place The BR Companies and BR Real Estate at that Glendora address. None of the California records we reviewed mention B.R. General Fund I, the fund named in the 2022 letter.

We found no shared people or addresses between the Legacy companies and the new owner.

Where the companies are

These are the addresses the records give. Each links to Google Street View of the street address, which shows the building but cannot show which business is inside.

FortScott.biz called Marx Development and KRI on Thursday. Marx Development’s line reached an automated attendant and no one answered. A KRI receptionist returned the call to ask whether we could meet at the facility Monday morning, but declined to provide the telephone number of the person who could answer our questions.

Obituary: Lylise R. (Hare) Evans

Lylise R. Evans

Lylise R. (Hare) Evans left this world and entered eternal rest at 8:38 pm on Friday, October 9th, 2026, at Aspen Health and Rehab, where she had been residing since January 2026 after suffering a stroke on December 25th, 2025.

Lylise was the youngest child of Orville Hare and Nancy (LaRue) Hare, born on July 30th, 1939. Lylise’s parents loved their children; however, they were unable to provide for them, so Lylise and a brother entered the Goodlander Children’s Home in Fort Scott, KS. Lylise was 6 years old when she entered the home and she remained in Goodlander Children’s Home until she graduated from Fort Scott High in 1958.

Lylise attended college at the College of the Ozarks in Branson, MO. After attending College, she returned to Fort Scott, KS and worked at various insurance agencies in different capacities throughout the 60’s and early 70’s until she moved to the Broken Arrow, OK area in the early 70’s. She lived in the Broken Arrow and Tulsa, OK areas and worked at various insurance agencies until she retired in July of 1996. While living in Broken Arrow and Tulsa areas, she made several lifelong friends, including her best friend, Mary Davis.

On May 14, 1981, the truest love of her life, Jeremy Carl Woods, was born. She was an immensely proud, single mom, who raised her son in faith, and formed an everlasting bond with her only child. She enjoyed being involved in her son’s life and had him involved in many activities such as the Boy Scouts of America, Big Brother’s Club, and various athletics when he was a young boy. Some of her proud moments were seeing her son receive his Eagle Scout Honor, seeing him graduate from Pittsburg State University with a history degree, seeing him join the Navy, and seeing him receive his associate’s degree in respiratory therapy.

In May of 1996, she reconnected with a childhood friend, James Evans. She and James married on August 3rd, 1996. She enjoyed 18 years with her best friend and lived in homes in Osawatomie, KS and Fort Scott, KS. She and James were faithful members of Christian Gospel Chapel in Fort Scott, and James preceded her in death on January 10th, 2015.

In March of 2014, she gained a daughter, Tiffany (Jeremy’s fiancé) and 2 bonus granddaughters, Alexandria and Cecilia. On May 10th of this year, she became a great-grandmother to Phoebe Michelle.

Lylise loved to craft, sew, crochet, knit and do needlepoint in her spare time. She loved to square dance in her younger days and always loved listening to music. In her later years, she was an avid gardener and was in the Fort Scott Garden Club. She especially loved sunflowers, tulips, and surprise lilies. At one point, while living on the farm in Osawatomie, she had a sunflower patch, with many reaching heights of 10-12 feet tall. She and James also had several cats and dogs over the years. She and James had a pair of terriers that accompanied them in their last years, Nip and Tuck. Sassy, a little chihuahua, accompanied Lylise until she moved into Town Villages in October of 2025. She also loved to travel and after returning to Tulsa in 2016, she went on many trips with her son, Jeremy, including trips to San Antonio, the Great Smoky Mountains, and several Branson trips.

Lylise loved to visit with friends, going out to eat, going on car rides and just being active. She especially loved sweets and chocolates, often requiring multiple trips to the store every week. Her greatest joy was just spending time with her son and his family, visiting with them multiple times a day on a daily basis. She was a faithful friend and had a heart of gold, all who knew her would say the same thing: she was a wonderful friend and a lifelong servant of the Lord. She will be missed greatly by all her friends and her family. Her memory will always be cherished as we, her family, felt the void of her absence the minute she left us.

Lylise was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, her husband and many other family members. She is survived by her only son, Jeremy and his fiancé Tiffany, her grand-daughter Alexandria, husband Clay and daughter Phoebe; and grand-daughter Cecilia and her partner, Cole.

Pastor Danny Brown will conduct graveside services at 12:30 PM Monday, October 19th, at the U.S. National Cemetery in Fort Scott. The family will receive friends at the funeral home Monday from 11:30 AM until leaving for the cemetery. Memorials are suggested to either the Coffee Bunker or Little Light House and may be left in care of the Cheney Witt Chapel, 201 S. Main St., Fort Scott, KS. Words of remembrance may be submitted online at cheneywitt.com.

KRI Issues Statement on Ownership, Future Plans

Leave a comment

Statement from Kansas Renewal Institute

Kansas Renewal Institute remains committed to supporting rural healthcare and expanding access to quality care in Fort Scott and the surrounding area.

Our ownership shares the vision that brought KRI to this community: to strengthen local healthcare, address unmet needs, and continue growing the services available to the individuals and families we serve. With the support of our ownership, KRI is fully capitalized to continue its operations and carry forward that vision.

Our ownership recognizes the unique combination of services already available at the KRI facility and the opportunity to build a more comprehensive healthcare resource for the region. By bringing together complementary services and pursuing additional mental health and hospital service lines, we see meaningful potential to meet more of the community’s healthcare needs close to home.

The recent ownership transition represents a continued investment in KRI’s future and in the long-term healthcare needs of this region. Any future expansion will follow the necessary planning and regulatory approval processes.

We recognize how much access to dependable healthcare means to this community. We look forward to working with local leaders, healthcare partners, and residents as we move forward, and we will share updates as plans are finalized.

Our commitment is clear: to invest in this community, strengthen rural healthcare, and follow through on the vision we have set forth.

Refreshment to the Soul by Patty LaRoche

1 Comment

Patty LaRoche

A sweet friendship refreshes the soul. Proverbs 27:9

This year, for the first time, selecting our annual, college sorority reunion date revolved around medical issues. Except for our wheelchair-bound friend Diana, the other five of us have been relatively healthy…until, that is, this year when Cathy could not join us because of a serious stomach diagnosis and Keller had to take it easy since she had just been released from I.C.U.

Needless to say, much of our four-day conversations were about health. We found ourselves taking pictures of each other’s medications, just in case we might succumb to our friends’ maladies. Other gab sessions concerned our techniques for eliminating wrinkles, sunspots, hair loss and creaky knees. In the end, we agreed on one thing: we were blessed every day we woke up able to breathe, move and talk, knowing that many did not have that fate.

What I love about this group is our lack of maturity. This picture shows the five of us at our Dolly Parton bash. We spent the day in our Dolly wigs, singing and dancing to the legend’s songs.

Notice the glasses we are holding, each with our caricatures and names inscribed. Etched under that is this: “No one will ever be as entertained by us as us.” We think we are funny.

We play dominoes with a $5 kitty, and this year, Diana added “Family Feud,” only we were on our own—no “family.” Di was the narrator but refused to tell us the year her card game was made, so our 2026 answers failed to meet her (apparent) 1996 edition. (Seriously, “Elvis” instead of “Dolly”?)

This year, Keller took us down Memory Lane with a video she created of the past 20 years we have vacationed together. Set to music, we were shocked to see how young (and skinny) we once were. We watched the video three times, asking ourselves, “What happened?”

Pictures of grandchildren were passed around the table, each with a story of accomplishment or goofiness. In spite of all the laughter we share, we are a prayer team for each other. There are narratives of in-law battles, sibling rivalries, children choices, husband frustrations, neighbor nightmares, financial concerns and, of course, health problems. We are not short on prayer requests.

Six personalities, all willing to overlook the annoying idiosyncrasies we all have, thankful that we all pitch in to help cook and clean, that we all choose to be unselfish and yield to each other rather than have our way. Have we had disagreements? You betcha. None of us is guilty of having no opinion. We will not discuss politics and respect each other’s religious viewpoints. We allow healthy discourse on topics such as Covid injections and childhood vaccinations while honoring Romans 12:10: Honor one another above yourselves.

If you are blessed with this kind of friendship, the kind that refreshes the soul and endures, you know that it is a gift from God. It is to be cherished.

CHC/SEK Offers Walk-In Flu Shots

Leave a comment

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 15, 2026

CHC/SEK Offers Walk-In Flu Shots

As flu season begins, the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas (CHC/SEK) encourages everyone aged six months and older to receive their yearly influenza vaccine to protect themselves and their loved ones.

“It’s important to get the flu vaccine annually because each year’s version includes the viruses expected to be most common,” said Dr. Linda Bean, CHC/SEK Chief Medical Officer. “Getting vaccinated now allows time to build immunity before flu season peaks in the winter.”

CHC/SEK offers flu vaccinations on a walk-in basis at all clinics in Kansas and Oklahoma. No appointment is necessary, and financial assistance is available.

In addition to receiving the annual vaccine, everyday habits such as frequent handwashing and avoiding close contact with people who are ill can help reduce the risk of getting the flu.

For more information or to find the nearest CHC/SEK clinic, visit chcsek.org/our-communities.
