Due to being

She’s missed out on things like starting school, Christmas and her birthday due to being in hospital, but despite all of this she continues to smile.”

I saw the above on Cancer Research Facebook page.

Please explain to me the use of "being" in the context. What does it actually mean here?

"Due to" is a preposition so it should be followed by a noun-

Gerund form- being

Does it have an actual meaning in the context apart from grammatical function? Thanks
