Dr. Graves graduated from Northwestern University having earned B.S., M.S. and M.D. degrees. He practiced medicine as a psychiatrist for over 50 years, both in private practice and in various public health positions.
In addition to his many years of private practice in the Ann Arbor-Detroit area and the Upper Peninsula, Jim served as Commissioner of the Michigan Department of Mental Health; Chief of Psychiatry at Detroit Receiving Hospital; Medical Director at Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Services Board; Executive Director at Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board; and Assistant Medical Director of Psychiatric Review with the Michigan Peer Review Organization.

Some people are admired for a great achievement, or a special talent, or perhaps their acts of generosity or kindness. Dr. James Henry Graves is admired for all of these things and more. Jim had many different facets -- scholar, physician, veteran, musician, lover of languages (proficient in many), player of euchre, well read with a prodigious memory, world traveler, devoted family man and husband, great listener, and friend to all who came near. The list of his interests is daunting. Being with Jim was never a bore. He lived a life enriched and fulfilled.
