No difference between hospital and clinic. They’re both clinical environments where you’ll be doing basic work.

Sure, it’s more important to volunteer than “work at pizza hut”. But volunteering doesn’t need to be full time, nor does having a job. You could easily fit in work and volunteering. By all means, if you need a job for financial reasons, do it. You have plenty of time to get significant ECs once you get to school, and it won’t hurt you to spend your summer before college working rather than doing med school related ECs.
