The new, upcoming venture at 401 Woodland Hills in Fort Scott, will be known as the Kansas Renewal Institute.
“Our mission is to provide comprehensive Behavioral Health Services for both adults and adolescents,” said T. J. Denning, the chief operating officer of Kansas Renewal Institute. ” We are completing the state licensure process and anticipate offering a detailed list of services to the community shortly.”
What is behavioral health?
“Behavioral health generally refers to mental health and substance use disorders, life stressors and crises, and stress-related physical symptoms. Behavioral health care refers to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of those conditions.,” according to the American Medical Association website https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/public-health/what-behavioral-health
Matthew Wells, Fort Scott Commissioner, said the business will benefit the community with new jobs.
” As we progress from our initial opening to full operational capacity, the Kansas Renewal Institute will employ a diverse team of 20 to 100 professionals.,” Denning said. “This team will expand in response to the needs of our patient population and will include a wide range of positions from senior leadership and administrative staff to medical personnel and direct care staff across various levels of pay and licensure.”
“The website will be updated shortly with job listings,” Denning said.
“We are pursuing licensure to operate 68 beds, and an outpatient (service), which will occupy three full wings of the facility, including the restaurant and areas designated for support staff,” he said.
“All of the old patient care areas, OB, ICU, and Medsurge as well as the old admin offices (will be used),” according to Fort Scott Commissioner Wells.
“The ownership and leadership of J.G. Healthcare, the entity behind the Kansas Renewal Institute, comprise a seasoned group of behavioral healthcare professionals with over 70 years of combined experience,” Denning said. “This collective expertise is focused on implementing best practices in behavioral health to address the increasing needs of Americans.”
There are private investors with a history in large growth companies who are investing in this operation, Denning said.

Strategies Will Be In Place For Patient Discharge
“Addressing community concerns regarding patient discharge, especially for those without local family support, we emphasize a holistic continuum of care,” Denning said. “This includes pre- and post-care strategies encompassing transportation to and from our institute, reinforcing our commitment to the successful reintegration of our patients into the community. Our dedicated team of discharge planners, alumni support staff, and community liaisons will ensure every patient receives a tailored integration plan, providing the necessary support to apply the skills learned during their stay at our institute effectively.”
