Recently, a call from the medical officer aboard the Celebrity Millennium was placed to personnel at the 17th Coast Guard District command center in Juneau, Alaska requesting a medevac for a woman who was reportedly suffering from symptoms of a stroke. After the Coast Guard duty flight surgeon recommended the woman be medevaced, the helicopter rescue crew was launched. Coast Guard Air Station Sitka aircrews aboard an MH-60 Jayhawk rescue helicopter was able to safely land and medevac a 59-year-old woman from Hoonah to Juneau after she was transported from the 965-foot cruise ship Celebrity Millennium to the Hoonah airport. She was transported to Juneau where local emergency medical services were waiting to transfer her to Bartlett Regional Hospital.
