171018-N-ZN152-0064 CARIBBEAN SEA (Oct. 18, 2017) - Sailors embarked aboard the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) receive a patient from a local hospital in Puerto Rico during a medical evacuation. An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, attached to the "Nightdippers" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 5, conducted the patient transfer. Comfort is underway providing medical services in the vicinity of San Juan, Puerto Rico, 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.
