Each quarter this year, JHU Healthy at Hopkins will focus on one of four well-being pillars: financial, physical, emotional, and social. For this first quarter, the focus is on financial well-being.

Whether you are looking for budgeting or wealth management tools, as a Johns Hopkins University employee you have access to a range of resources to support your financial well-being.

JHU has partnered with Marsh McLennan Agency, an independent investment adviser, whose MMA Prosper Wise digital platform is a one-stop hub for all things regarding financial planning. Below, you can read about MMA Prosper Wise and other financial tools available to you.
