| Info | George Harvey Ingalls Sloane, M.D., was born in New York City on May 11, 1936, and grew up in Warrenton, Virginia. He graduated from Yale University with a bachelor of arts in American studies in 1958. In 1963 he graduated from Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Sloane worked for the U.S. Public Health Service from 1964 to 1966, providing health care to residents of eastern Kentucky. In 1966 he went to Vietnam as a volunteer physician providing health care to civilians. From 1966 to 1972, with federal grant money, he initiated and developed the Park DuValle Community Health Center in Louisville. He also developed the city's first comprehensive emergency medical service. He founded Action for Clean Air in 1968, and was selected to serve on Jefferson County's Air Pollution Control Board. He twice was elected mayor of Louisville, serving from 1973 to 1977 and again from 1982 to 1986. His Democratic administration was noted for neighborhood conservation programs to preserve historic houses and eliminate substandard housing, expansion of mass transit and emergency medical care, and also for strikes by sanitation workers and police, and court-ordered busing for desegregation of the public schools. In 1979 and 1983 Sloane ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for governor and in 1990 he lost the senatorial race by a narrow margin. In 1991 Sloane moved to Washington, D.C., to work as a lobbyist, health-care consultant, and fund-raiser. From 1995 to 1997 he served as public health commissioner for the District of Columbia. As of fall 2000 he was a senior policy analyist with Project Hope, a Washington based charity promoting early childhood development.
