Bijal owns and runs the Adult Day Health Center at Manor on the Hill in Leominster. Previously, he served as Head of Procurement at several medical device companies after completing his MS in Chemical Engineering from UMass Lowell. Seven years ago, Bijal began working with Adult Day Health Centers to provide essential services to seniors and adults with varying needs. This was such a wonderful experience that he decided to leave his corporate role to focus full-time on supporting these services. In his spare time, Bijal enjoys tending to his vegetable garden, listening to audiobooks, and taking long walks in the woods.
