Tidelands Health nurses honored with awards for outstanding care
May 13, 2026
Two Tidelands Health nurses have earned prestigious Daisy Awards for their exceptional compassion and commitment to patient care.
Edie Marvin, a registered nurse at Tidelands Waccamaw Community Hospital, and Isabella Herring, a registered nurse at Tidelands Georgetown Memorial Hospital, were honored for going above and beyond in caring for patients and their families.
Marvin was recognized for the attentive, reassuring care she provided to a surgical patient, easing anxiety by clearly explaining each step of the process and providing comfort before and after the procedure. 
“I have been blessed by good people throughout my life, but my experience with Edie Marvin was truly wonderful,” the patient shared.
Herring was honored for her calm, compassionate care during a pediatric emergency involving a visiting family. She quickly put the family at ease and provided steady reassurance during a frightening situation, demonstrating thoughtful attention that made a lasting impact.
“She brought a calm, compassionate presence that completely changed the tone of the room,” a family member said.
The national DAISY award and the DAISY Foundation were established by the family of Patrick Barnes, who died of a rare autoimmune disease at the age of 33, to honor his memory and recognize nurses around the country who deliver extraordinary care.
“These nurses exemplify the dedication and compassion that define nursing at Tidelands Health,” said Ashley Capps, vice president of operations and chief nursing officer. “We congratulate both winners and all of our nominees for their commitment to caring for patients and families.”
