Narrative:

I received a call from the flight attendant that a passenger had lost consciousness. The flight attendant informed me there was a physician and 2 nurses on board assisting. Also, the flight attendant contacted upmc. I coordinated with ATC while the first officer spoke with the dispatcher and flight attendants. The passenger seemed to recover then relapsed. Upon considering all inputs, I declared an emergency and was given priority handling for an expeditious landing at ZZZ. Emergency medical personnel met us at the gate. The passenger was conscious and was escorted off the plane walking under his own power. All personnel involved performed in an exemplary manner. While descending, I briefly exceeded 250 KTS below 10000 ft.
