   In San Francisco, Jyu-Lin Chen, PhD, RN, agrees. The number of culturally competent healthcare providers has not matched the increasing rate of Asian immigrants, she said. Lack of culturally competent care relates to decreased health status of Asian immigrants, said Dr. Chen, who is assistant professor, Department of Family Health Care Nursing, University of California, San Francisco. Her solution is to increase diversity in healthcare professions and offer educational programs to providers regarding culturally competent care.
   
   "Nurses play an important role in decreasing health disparities among Asians, as they are often the healthcare providers who provide routine and intensive care," she said.
