Safe and Trusted Care
Veteran Stem is a veteran-led movement offering LIPO-STEM™, an innovative autologous stem cell treatment. Though currently self-funded, we aim to make it available to eligible DVA Gold and White Card holders pending approval. It provides a non-surgical alternative to joint replacements for osteoarthritis, helping veterans move better, live stronger, and stay mission-ready.
At the heart of our mission is service, past, present, and future. Co-founded by ADF veterans Don Baker and Jordan Bell, alongside Mr. Sam Scott-Young. Our team blends military precision, clinical expertise, and respect for veterans.
We’re dedicated to delivering evidence-based regenerative treatments that honour those who’ve served.
LIPO-STEM™ is more than just a promising treatment, it represents a shift toward safer, more proactive care for veterans living with joint pain. It’s a non-surgical, drug-free alternative to managing osteoarthritis, helping many reduce or avoid reliance on opioids, skip long public waitlists, and potentially delay or prevent joint replacement surgery altogether.
By registering your interest, you’re not only exploring an innovative path to pain relief you’re also helping demonstrate that veterans want and need access to regenerative options like this. If you’re looking for a better way forward, without the delays, without the medications, your voice can help shape that future. Together, we can open the door for more choice, more control, and more mobility for those who’ve served.

Frequently Asked Questions:
The Veteran Stem Program connects eligible veterans with regenerative medicine solutions, including LIPO-STEM™ therapy, to help treat musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative conditions in a minimally invasive way.
LIPO-STEM™ is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient's own adipose (fat-derived) stem cells to reduce inflammation and stimulate tissue repair in joints affected by osteoarthritis and injury.
Unlike surgery, LIPO-STEM™ is a same-day, minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime. It avoids the trauma, risks, and extended recovery associated with joint replacements.
Regenerative therapy focuses on helping the body heal itself. It uses the body's own cells or growth factors to restore damaged tissue, rather than simply managing symptoms or removing damaged structures.
Veterans often suffer from chronic joint and tissue injuries due to years of physical service. LIPO-STEM™ provides a non-surgical option that promotes healing, reduces pain, and can improve quality of life without relying on long-term medication or invasive procedures.
