Culturally competent care is necessary to best meet the health care needs of diverse and changing families. Provision of culturally competent care should be of higher priority than understanding family dynamics, rec-ognizing the stress in two-income parent households, or learning how to care for people in their homes. Culturally competent care is needed to form and maintain a relationship with the family.
