She’s endured her fair share of health issues, culminating in a 2017 kidney transplant.

The 26-year-old singer posed happily with sick kids at the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

The Come & Get It hitmaker was on-brand for the meet and greet, sporting a Big Slick T-shirt with skinny blue jeans.

The ex-girlfriend of Justin Bieber wore her brunette tresses loose and with a center part as she hugged sick teens and kids at the event.

Gomez received a kidney transplant from actress and friend Francia Raisa in 2017, after being diagnosed with lupus around 2013.

During the transplant, Selena broke an artery, leading surgeons to create a new artery from a vein in the actress’ leg.

The annual charity event began in 2010, when comedian Rob Riggle enlisted fellow funny men Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis to help him create a poker tournament to raise money for Children’s Mercy.

Fundraising efforts include a celebrity softball game, as well as a bowling tournament and the Big Slick party and show.

Eric Stonestreet and Selena Gomez are regulars at the A-list annual event.
