Narrative:
Departed normally. At cruise; approximately 25 mins into the flight; the first officer reported feeling ill. I (the captain) told him to try breathing some oxygen from the cockpit mask. Within mins; he reported feeling worse; and asked me to land the aircraft as soon as possible. I contacted center; declared an emergency; and requested vectors to the nearest field. We requested medical personnel meet us at the gate. We landed at ZZZ on runway without incident.
