BOSTON — The Coast Guard flew a 66-year-old man suffering from chest pains from Nantucket Cottage Hospital to Cape Cod Hospital, Saturday. 

At about 6:15 p.m., the hospital in Nantucket contacted watchstanders at the First Coast Guard District requesting assistance.

A MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod, still in the air from a PREVIOUS CASE, arrived in Nantucket, brought the man and a nurse aboard, and is currently enroute to Cape Cod Hospital to ensure the man receives advance medical care.

He was reported to be in stable condition.
