This is just my opinion as a fellow premed--hopefully, one of the adcoms will chime in here as well. But I think this counts as clinical volunteering. Sounds like there isn't really any patient interaction but I would think that interacting with family members would be still be valuable as it's such an important part of medicine and not always an easy thing to do!
If it's the only thing you can fit in your schedule right now, I'd stick with it. But I would try to get some direct patient experience at some point before you apply. If it doesn't work out at the hospital, you could try a nursing home, free clinic, or hospice as well. (I'm assuming you're in school right now so maybe during the summer?)

Does volunteering in an outpatient surgery lounge count as clinical volunteering?
