James MacIntyre Obituary
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - James C. MacIntyre II, M.D., beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother died on January 8, 2024, in Charlotte, N.C. He was 77 years old.
A dedicated child and adolescent psychiatrist, he devoted his entire medical career to working in public children's mental health systems serving as clinician, teacher, and administrator. Born and raised in Johnstown, N.Y., he graduated from Hamilton College (1968) and Albany Medical College (1972) in Upstate N.Y. He completed his post-graduate training (residency and fellowship) in Los Angeles, Calif. He then served as Chief of Children's Services at the Capital District Psychiatric Center (CDPC) and Head of Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Albany Medical College in Albany, N.Y. He was then appointed Clinical Director and Chief of Psychiatry for the Bureau of Children and Families in the New York State Office of Mental Health. In 2005, Dr. MacIntyre relocated to Charlotte, N.C., where his wife's family lives, and worked at Atrium Health's Behavioral Health Center until retirement, in 2017. Dr. MacIntyre worked tirelessly throughout his career to advocate for children with mental illness. He served in national leadership positions (Secretary, Treasurer, Council) with the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP).
Dr. MacIntyre is survived by his wife, Priscilla Claiborne; daughters and sons-in-law, Bonnie (Bryan) Skinner and Rachel (Justin) Hillberry; grandchildren, Harper Skinner, Holden and Leo Hillberry; and brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Bruce MacIntyre and Mary Paul. Dr. MacIntyre was predeceased by his parents, James C. MacIntyre and Lucile Riemer MacIntyre.
A private graveside service for the family will be held in his hometown of Johnstown, N.Y., at a later date. Memorials in James's name, may be made to American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry's Campaign for America's Kids or to Shriners Hospitals for Children.

I remeber Jim vividly from his time at LA County hospital. He was a terrific psychiatrist and a dedicated member of the progressive Baby Boomer generation. He contributed to improvements and reforms at that hoary institution. His doppelganger is favorably treated in my novel of that activist era, Stone Mother. My condolences to his family. I am deeply saddened by his death.

So sorry to read of Jim`s passing. He was a good friend in medical school, and we certainly appreciated his input many times to the troubled adolescent community that many of us in general medicine needed help in treating.
My condolences to his survivors, who surely should know how much he was loved in the medical community.

I was one of a very few women in James´s medical school class. He was part of the group who were very kind to us. Many were not! We really appreciated the support in a tough environment.

I worked at CDPC with James and at the NYS Office of Mental Health. He was one of the finest MDs I´ve known in my carrier and one of the best human beings. The world and many many people are in a better place because they had the privilege to know James.

I´m so glad I got to know James a little bit and share painting experiences and tips. He was a talented painter. And what a sweet and kind person he was. He made such a difference in so many lives.

James was a good friend who I have worked with for years through the AACAP. We were friends on Executive committees together and on taskforces and he was in charge of Project Future my Presidential Initiative . He did an excellent job and did so with diligence , leadership, humor and many smiles. i always looked forward to his photos of his grandkids that he obviously adored. I was saddened that when I looked for more photos that there was an obituary. I will miss the interactions and friendship... and the smiles.
