The objective of the Risk Management and Insurance department is to protect the university against the risk of loss that would significantly impact the operations of the University.
The department analyzes a variety of financial, operational and strategic risks, assessing their frequency and severity. It also assess the potential financial exposure and advises on appropriate strategies to mitigate, avoid or transfer the risk. When appropriate, available and economically feasible, or when required by law, insurance is purchased to protect the University and its assets against substantial losses. Ordinary and recurring losses typically are self-insured.
The office also provides risk management advice to JHU and JHHS operations in support of the University’s and Health System’s goals. Our objective is come up with helpful solutions for the various departments whether through insurance policies, insurance provisions in contracts or general guidance.
