MIAMI, Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- It is a pleasure to announce that HolaDoctor project manager and managing editor Adriana Beorlegui is the recent recipient of a Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) Maggie Award for Media Excellence.

Beorlegui's award, in the online reporting category, recognizes her exemplary online media coverage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to help educate the Hispanic population on the law and the enrollment process.

"Since 1978, a PPFA Maggie Award, named after Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, has recognized exceptional achievement in media coverage of reproductive rights and healthcare issues through news and commentary," notes Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood.

"I'm honored to be a recipient of a Maggie Award," says Beorlegui. "Planned Parenthood's wonderful job empowering Hispanic women on health issues is crucial. Being able to make educated decisions on health-related matters has lifetime-lasting effects."

Hispanics often face challenges with regards to health insurance, made more difficult when combined with‎ cultural barriers and immigration issues. HolaDoctor is committed to helping the Hispanic community get the information it needs. In partnership with Univision, the two organizations' digital platforms last year reached 15 million visitors a month, with 300 million healthcare reform page views.
