Medevac off Sitka
A Coast Guard Air Station Sitka MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew medevaced a 44-year-old woman from the "Tuxedni" near Sitka on Aug 26, 2013. The Coast Guard 17th District command center watchstanders had received a call from Health Force Partners who reported the woman was suffering from severe abdominal distress and needed assistance. The watchstanders consulted the Coast Guard duty flight surgeon, who recommended the medevac, and directed the launch of the Jayhawk crew. The Jayhawk crew rendezvoused with the vessel in Tebenkof Bay, 67 miles southeast of Sitka, hoisted the woman aboard and flew her to Sitka where she was transferred to local emergency medical service personnel for evaluation and treatment. Weather conditions at the time of the incident were reported as calm winds with overcast skies and periods of rain.
