Midwifery & home birth for Warsaw families
Warsaw and the Winona Lake area sit about 35 minutes south of Happy Stork, straight up SR-15. As the Kosciusko County seat, Warsaw is the hub of the southern part of our service area, and families here travel to our Wakarusa office and Nappanee birthing center for personal, midwife-led prenatal care and birth. Home birth is also available for low-risk Warsaw-area pregnancies, with Jana traveling to you for the birth itself.

Does insurance cover a midwife or home birth?
