Wylie ER hosting community blood drive

Wylie ER is scheduled to host a community blood drive on Sunday, May 24, at its facility at 508 S State Hwy 78 in Wylie, according to event listings published by the Murphy Chamber of Commerce and the Wylie Area Chamber of Commerce. The event is set to run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., with the Murphy Chamber listing the drive as open at Wylie ER’s address in Wylie. The chamber page names Ashlee Lawson as the contact for the event. A separate donor-scheduling portal tied to Carter BloodCare has listed Wylie ER blood drives at the same location, linking the event to the regional blood supplier’s appointment system. ### When and where is the blood drive happening? Sunday, May 24, is the date listed for the drive, and both chamber calendars show the same 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. window for donors. The Murphy Chamber posting gives the full location as Wylie ER, 508 S State Hwy 78, Wylie, Texas 75098. The Wylie Chamber calendar also lists a Wylie ER blood drive for May 24 during the same afternoon hours. (business.murphychamber.org) Wylie ER’s own website identifies the business as a 24/7 emergency room in Wylie. The site says the facility provides emergency care, onsite laboratory services and imaging, and it lists the same phone number that appears in other directory records for the location. ### How do donors sign up? The Murphy Chamber event page says donors can set a reminder and lists the event under its community calendar. (business.murphychamber.org) A related Wylie ER blood-drive listing published earlier this year by the Wylie Chamber included a “Sign up here” prompt that directed donors to a Carter BloodCare scheduling page, indicating the events use an advance appointment system. Carter BloodCare’s donor portal says appointments can be scheduled online or by phone. (wylieer.com) Carter BloodCare’s public website says it operates neighborhood donor centers and daily blood drives across its service area. The organization says donated blood supports patients in the community, and its site is currently promoting blood donations during May. ### Who is organizing the event? The Murphy Chamber of Commerce published the May 24 event on its calendar and lists Ashlee Lawson as the contact. (business.murphychamber.org) Wylie ER appears in the Murphy Chamber’s directory as a member business in medical services. The chamber directory and the Wylie Chamber directory both place Wylie ER at 508 S Highway 78 in Wylie and list the main phone number as (469) 782-0620. (greatpartners.org) Ashlee Lawson also appears on Wylie ER’s website as the media contact on a recent community-event post marking the facility’s eighth anniversary. That post described a separate May event focused on coffee, community and first responders, showing the emergency room has recently used its site to promote local outreach events. ### What should donors know before they go? (business.murphychamber.org) The 1 p.m. start time appears on both chamber listings, and the Carter BloodCare system tied to earlier Wylie ER drives showed appointments in 15-minute increments. The available public records do not spell out donor eligibility rules on the chamber page itself, but Carter BloodCare’s website directs prospective donors to preparation and screening information through its donation portal. (wylieer.com) Carter BloodCare’s donor portal says people can use QuickScreen and manage appointments online. The organization also provides a scheduling phone number on its portal for donors who want to book directly. ### What happens next? May 24 is the next listed date for the Wylie ER blood drive, and the event page says donations begin at 1 p.m. at 508 S State Hwy 78. (business.murphychamber.org) The Murphy Chamber posting remains live as of May 22, and donors looking to participate can use that event page to register ahead of the Sunday drive. (greatpartners.org)
