Indian Creek Birth Center

Indian Creek Midwifery & Birth Center sits on two peaceful acres in Ithaca, with paths, gardens and small waterfalls, less than a mile from Cayuga Medical Center. We’re proud to now also serve families at our Dundee location, bringing the same personalized, home-away-from-home care to the northern Finger Lakes. Designed to expand community birth options and honor the ancient art of midwifery, this is a true home-away-from-home for your birth.
