Adrean Allen, born in the Jamaican city of Spanish Town, is employed in the housekeeping department at UPMC Mercy Hospital.

He works hard to support his family, which includes two young daughters.

A musician, Allen has a recording studio in his home where he produces songs that he writes and sings. And it’s his gift of singing that he shares with patients, including those battling covid-19.

Allen cares so much about the patients he comes in contact with that he often sings to them as a way to lift their spirits. This week he took time out of his busy schedule to talk with the Trib in this installment of “Answering the Call.”
