Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Secretary of State John Kerry and heir to the ketchup company fortune, remained in critical but stable condition at a Boston hospital Monday.
Heinz Kerry was flown to Boston for further medical treatment after being taken by ambulance from the couple's Nantucket, Mass., home to a hospital on Sunday afternoon, sources close to the family told NBC News.
The wife of secretary of state John Kerry was rushed to a hospital on Nantucket in critical condition and was transferred to a hospital in Boston. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
John Kerry spokesman Glen Johnson said in a statement that once doctors at Nantucket Cottage Hospital stabilized Heinz Kerry, she was transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston while accompanied by her husband.
The 74-year-old was admitted to the emergency room at Nantucket Cottage Hospital ?in critical but stable condition about 3:30 p.m., according to a hospital spokesperson. ?No further details about her condition have been released.
Heinz Kerry, a breast cancer survivor, is the mother of three adult sons from her marriage to the late Pennsylvania Sen. John Heinz who died in a plane crash in 1991.
She was treated at Massachusetts General in Boston in 2009 following her surgery to treat breast cancer. She also received treatment at a Washington-area hospital that same year.
Sec. Kerry has been in Nantucket since returning from the Middle East on Wednesday.
Heinz Kerry is a longtime activist on environmental causes and leads the Heinz Family Foundation.
?The family is grateful for the outpouring of support it has received and aware of the interest in her condition, but they ask for privacy at this time,? Johnson said in the statement.
