We’re starting the week with a major health care investment and a dramatic local business makeover. Catholic Health is entering a 10-year technology partnership tied to a $500 million deal, while a longtime Glen Cove shipping and business-services shop has completed what its owners call a “night and day” transformation.

3 money habits teens can start building now
With a Cash App Card, teens can take their first steps toward independence with a secure debit card. They’ll learn how to spend, save, and manage money, all with your guidance and oversight to help them get started.
1. Learn to spend responsibly
A debit card gives them a safe way to practice managing money under your supervision. It gives you the opportunity to teach them how to make smart spending choices.
2. Start saving for their goals Setting goals can help them see how saving a little at a time can help them reach their short-term and long-term goals.
3. Manage their own money Whether they get paid with direct deposit or use Cash App to get allowance or gifts, they get real experience with money.
Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank. Banking services provided by Cash App’s bank partner(s). Prepaid debit cards issued by Sutton Bank, Member FDIC. Cash App Visa® Debit Flex Cards issued by Sutton Bank, Member FDIC, and The Bancorp Bank, N.A., pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. See terms and conditions for the Sutton prepaid card (https://cash.app/legal/us/en-us/card-agreement), Sutton debit flex card (https://cash. app/legal/us/en-us/debit-flex-card-agreement-sutton), and Bancorp debit flex card (https:// cash.app/legal/us/en-us/debit-flex-card-agreement-bancorp).
