WRHA Presents Award to Steve Bellinger

April 30, 2007

In recognition of his constant dedication to providing swift, compassionate, and effective care to the Long Beach Peninsula community.


Steve Bellinger, PA-C was introduced by the CEO of Ocean Beach Hospital, Jim Robertson. Jim spoke of Steve’s long-term devotion to the Long Beach Peninsula community, both in his decades of medical practice as a PA-C, ER Tech, and Diabetes Educator, and in his volunteer work as a Firefighter/EMT/Paramedic. “Steve has a quiet unassuming manner that puts patients at ease. He is the one constant face in a sea of providers that have come and gone over the years. As you are well aware, this is rare in rural communities and greatly appreciated. His humor and easygoing personality make him a pleasure to work with and we are extremely fortunate to have him.”
