BATON ROUGE – The Cardiovascular Institute of the South is offering free vein screenings in Prairieville and Baton Rouge for Women's Health Month.

The screenings are ideal for people experiencing symptoms of venous disease in the legs like swelling, pain, varicose veins, ulcers or discoloration, CIS said. Those who attend the free screenings will also receive complimentary thermal imaging scans that will be reviewed on-site by CIS cardiologist Dr. Shashi Gavini.

"For best results, wear clothing that can be pulled above the knee," CIS said.
