Green, George E.
NA0198 · Persona

Dr. George E. Green was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He attended Yale College and Yale Medical School. He returned to New York to intern at Bellevue Hospital and complete a residency at Saint Vincent's Hospital and the Veterans Administration Hospital. He also completed a residency in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery at New York University Medical Center. Green began working with microsurgery techniques while working with Dr. Max Sones at Beth Israel Medical Center. Dr. Sones was looking for a better solution to the reconstruction of the esophagus post cancer treatment. In order to improve on the technique, Green introduced himself to Julius H. Jacobson, MD who was newly arrived at Mount Sinai Medical Center, and was the first American to publish about using a surgical microscope to anastomose the smallest blood vessels. Green was given access to Jacobson's lab to practice the same procedure. In 1965, while presenting a paper on these procedures, Green met Donald B. Effler, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic, who was lecturing on the Vineberg Procedure, which was named for Arthur M. Vineberg, MD, who successfully used the internal thoracic, or mammary, artery, to tunnel it into the heart muscle to establish collateral circulation to the coronary vessels. This meeting produced many trips to the Cleveland Clinic for Green, collaborating with their physicians which eventually led to Green performing the ITA bypass procedure on a person. In 1970 Dr. Green was hired to establish St. Luke's Hospital cardiac surgery program, and by 1982 St. Luke's was doing approximately 1800 cases a year, which was the biggest program in the state. In 1986 his work was verified by Dr. Airlie Cameron, who conducted a fifteen-year follow-up study of the coronary artery bypass surgery and presented documentation of improved survival rates with the internal thoracic artery compared with the saphenous vein bypass. The first of its kind, the study was published in 1986, with a 20-year follow-up study is published in 1995.

He earned his medical degree at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1930 and he completed his post-degree work in cardiology at The Mount Sinai Hospital in 1934. He remained at Mount Sinai, where he became an Associate Attending Physician in the Division of Cardiology in the Department of Medicine and a Professor in the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

He first worked in the Cardiographic Laboratory at Mount Sinai with Dr. Arthur M. Master (Chief of the Laboratory) and other doctors. He began private practice in New York before World War II. During the war he served in the U.S. Navy as Lieutenant Commander on the U.S.S. Rixey, an evacuation transport ship in the Pacific theatre. He returned to New York after the war, where he continued his work at Mount Sinai and in private practice. From 1951 (approximately) to his retirement in 1982, his office was at 969 Park Avenue. With Arthur Master, Simon Dack, Leon Pordy, and others, he collaborated on many journal articles and chapters, as well as writing a few articles and chapters on his own. The book Cardiac Emergencies and Heart Failure by Arthur M. Master, Marvin Moser, and Harry L. Jaffe was published by Lea & Febiger, Philadelphia, in 1952. Dr. Jaffe was a member of Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, the American Medical Association, and the American College of Cardiology.
He was married for 53 years to Viola Albert Jaffe, and they had one daughter, Ellen S. Jaffe, a writer and psychotherapist. His grandson, Joe A. Bitz, is now a social worker.

James, George
NA0315 · Persona · 1915-1972

George James was born in 1915 in New York City, but moved to New Rochelle, NY when he was very young. He graduated from Columbia University in 1937, Yale School of Medicine in 1941, and received a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University in 1945. He trained in pediatrics and his early career was spent in public health work. In 1956 he became the Deputy Commissioner of Health for New York City and was named full Commissioner in 1962. During his tenure with the Health Department, he achieved the long sought goal of the fluoridation of the City’s water supply, opened health clinics, and worked hard on reaching out to the community, and backing his decisions with data. Long interested in education, he served on the faculty of Yale University School of Medicine, Columbia University School of Public Health and Administration, the Harvard School of Public Health, and Albany Medical College, among others.

During his time at Mount Sinai he was responsible for the day to day efforts of creating a school from the ground up. He oversaw the building program that created the Annenberg Building, the search for an academic affiliation for the school, the addition of basic science faculty and staff, and the creation of a governance structure including every policy and procedure needed to run a school. He worked closely with Gustave L. Levy, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and with other Trustees on the many and varied fund raising and policy issues that arose.

One of the more difficult roles James played was as President of The Mount Sinai Medical Center, trying to manage the needs and desires of the Hospital and the new School. The Director of the Hospital had traditionally reported to the Trustees and was the chief executive. With the activation of the Medical Center structure, the Director, S. David Pomrinse, MD, now reported to the President/Dean, a sometimes uncomfortable and contentious situation.

Throughout his years at Mount Sinai Dr. James remained active in various public health organizations, and served as a member of many public commissions and task forces. He was a strong and early advocate against smoking. He published over 190 papers in his career.

Dr. James had suffered a stroke in 1971. In March 1972 he had a second stroke that led to his death on March 19th. His loss was a heavy blow to the young school.

NA0335 · Persona · 1920-2011

Edwin Dennis Kilbourne was the Distinguished Service Professor and the First Chairman of the Department of Microbiology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine (1968-1987).

Dr. Kilbourne was born in Buffalo, New York on July 10th, 1920 and spent most of his life living in New York City and Connecticut. He spent the first five years of life in the Dominican Republic, then Santo Dominico, since his father was in the sugar business. He received his undergraduate's degree from Cornell University in 1942 and his medical degree from Cornell University Medical College in 1944.

He did his residency at New York Hospital and did two years of service in the Army at Fort Monmouth in New Jersey. At Fort Monmouth there was an influenza epidemic in 1947 which honed his interest in the disease. Dr. Kilbourne studied with Frank Horsfall, Jr., MD as a researcher at Rockefeller Institute for three years before joining the faculty at Tulane Service of Charity Hospital (1951-1955) where he was Associate Professor of Medicine and married in 1952. He then worked at Cornell University Medical College where he was Associate Professor of Public Health (1955-1968). In both positions he ran a division of virus research. He began treating flu patients during the 1957 pandemic and published landmark studies on the influenza virus, including the use of genetic recombinants (1969) and was one of a few scientists world-wide who annually studied the changes in the influenza virus in order to develop new vaccines.

On January 1st, 1969, he joined the faculty at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine as the First Chairman of the Department of Microbiology (1969-1987). Dr. Kilbourne’s microbiology laboratory at Mount Sinai was where all the commercially used vaccines since 1971 had their genesis until at least 1989. He left Mount Sinai in 1999 after working as the Distinguished Service Professor (1987-1999) to become Research Professor of Microbiology at the New York Medical College. He passed away in 2011 at the age of 90 and was survived by his wife, four sons, and many grandchildren.
