The two clinics are in Rosauers grocery stores in Lewiston and Moscow. The Moscow clinic will close Monday; the Lewiston clinic will close Saturday.

Hospital officials said the clinics failed to meet expectations.

“The service that we were providing just didn’t have the volume of patients we expected,” Rebecca Mann said. “Due to the volume being so low, that led to them not being sustainable and didn’t meet our expectations.”
