Note
A regular -s plural that carries every meaning of the singular, not only the medical one. Besides buildings, clinics can be sessions, such as a hospital's regular clinics for outpatients. They can also be meetings for training on one subject, like a coach's skills clinics, or the regular office hours politicians hold for constituents. Context, not form, tells them apart. The old sense of a class taught at the bedside is obsolete.
