171007-N-ZN152-0029 CARIBBEAN SEA (Oct. 7, 2017) - Sailors embarked aboard the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) receive a patient from Bayamon Hospital in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, during a medical evacuation. An MH-60S Seahawk helicopter, attached to the "Sea Knights" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 22, conducted the patient transfer. Comfort is transiting from the Arecibo-Manati region to Aguadilla to provide medical services with additional visits being planned around the island. The U.S. Health and Human Services and Puerto Rico Department of Health representatives are prioritizing patients at each stop prior to Comfort's arrival. The Department of Defense is supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal agency, in helping those affected by Hurricane Maria to minimize suffering and is one component of the overall whole-of-government response effort.
