BATON ROUGE - In an effort to stamp out hepatitis C in Louisiana, officials are organizing free screenings around the state. 

Louisiana's Department of Health announced that 10 Walmart locations will offer free hepatitis C screenings every Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. from Dec. 11 until Feb. 1. 

The screenings consist of a finger-stick test conducted in a private space within the Walmart pharmacy. If someone has a reactive test, they'll be referred to their primary care physician or to another local health care provider for additional screening and treatment.
